Friday, April 20, was Canyon's annual Fun Run. We appreciate our PTA for sponsoring this activity. It was a perfect weather day for the run. There was a staggered start beginning with 5 & 6 graders, then 3 & 4 graders, and finally K-2 graders. All students enjoyed a popsicle at the end of the race! 

“Mrs. Money embodies the qualities of dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to her students. She is the first to arrive early, stay late and take on added responsibilities if it means helping students learn. She provides selfless service to her students. As a special education teacher, she tailors her students learning to their learning level and strengths. Mrs. Money has piloted programs for the district on several occasions. She creates a positive learning culture and runs an exemplary program.”

Third Graders at Canyon just completed RadKids. In this class children gain valuable lifesaving skills as they learn to recognize, avoid, resist and escape from danger.  In radKIDS, children learn from a comprehensive curriculum that addresses school safety, bullying, home safety, fire safety, bike safety, dog safety, out and about safety, strangers, how and when to call 911, good/bad/uncomfortable touch to name a few. After each subject is taught we practice safety drills so they get a chance to practice what they are learning.

Miss Nuttall's 3rd grade class wrote a friendly letter to Sr. Moss, our intern Principal, also the Spanish teacher at the Jr. High and asked him how to say our colors in Spanish. Well, today he stopped by and taught us Amarillo (Yellow), Verde (Green), Azul (Blue), and Rojo (Red). These third grades can't wait to take Spanish. Thanks Sr. Moss!!!

Canyon Elementary hosted an Art Night on March 12, 2018. Valena Humphreys, the art specialist, saved many pieces of art that students had worked on this year. In addition, teachers displayed art that students had completed in class. The walls were covered with wonderful works of art!

Do you know how to divide? Are you good at sharing? Well we, in Miss Nuttall's class, love dividing and sharing especially when we get to use mini cookies during the lesson.
