Goshen Elementary's first graders in Mrs. Dyreng's class recently did a unit on standard measurement. Students enjoyed measuring ingredients for a batch of no bake cookies. From this activity students learned about measuring capacity. They used a variety of measuring tools throughout their unit of study.

Students in Mrs. Norton’s 4th grade had fun making their own crazy Dr. Seuss creatures. They worked hard in groups to create a character out of random objects and art supplies brought from home. Once their creature was complete, they gave it a creative name and wrote a short poem about it using zany words! The characters pictured from left to right are: The Skinkle Finkle Whinkle Deww, The One Eyed Spotted Vandooper Scooper, The Fattalicka Smicka Ticka, The Squishy Ishy Wshon Bug, The Picture Micture Ficture Taking Freek, and The Zookady Flukady Been!

 

On March 6, the Nebo School District put on a chess tournament for elementary students.  Goshen Elementary student, Devon Lopez, attended the chess tournament. He competed in the third grade division and won 2nd place.

Fourth-grade students from Goshen Elementary took a field trip to the Hutching's Museum in Lehi.  Students learned more about science and Utah's history.  They saw many types of rocks, fossils, and minerals that are found in Utah.  They learned about the Native Americans that lived here and saw some arrowheads, drums, and how they used animals and crops.  They also learned about the pioneers and lifted up the heavy irons they used for clothes.  One of the students' favorite parts was learning about the Wild West where they were locked up in an old jail cell.

Mrs. Margaret Allinson's third graders have been learning about motions of figures in their geometry unit.  They performed a dance showing slides, translations, reflections, rotations, turns, and flips.  Students had fun coming up with their moves and using their math knowledge to dance.  Pictured is Talia Ehlers, Ahsee Blu, Palmer Gutke, Keaton Broderick, and Jose Vazquez.
