Submitted by jeanette.maughan on

 

On January 21st, 2016, Canyon Elementaryś sixth grade took a trip to BYU campus for Sports Hero Day. The students had a TON of fun participating in and watching various sports activities, including soccer, swimming, gymnastics, and more. At the end, we gathered at a gym and heard speeches from a lot of people, including the one and only Tyler Mangum!! We also were anxious to learn who won the Essay Contest from our school.  Overall, the trip was really great.


 

 

Spelling Bee

Brian Reagon has a hard time with Spelling Bees, but not our Canyon 5th and 6th graders!  On January 29, 48 students squared off during our Second Annual Spelling Bee.  The competition was fierce, but Ben Walker came out on top.  This qualified him to represent our school at the Regional Spelling Bee.  He proved himself to be a true "Spelling Champion" by coming in 7th place out of 54 competitors.  Way to spell Ben!

It's official! There is now a whole new group of Radkids!  Radkids are students who know how to protect themselves from strangers.  Today was GRADUATION DAY!  It is impressive what these kids know and can do.  Radkids does not tell your child what we hope they will do, we actually teach, train and empower children with real skills so they can recognize, avoid, resist and if necessary escape violence or harm in their lives.

Our Solar System

Submitted by jeanette.maughan on

The sixth grade students are learning about the planets and our solar system. In these picture it shows a project that they did outside with chalk to measure the distance between the planets. First, they all got a paper listing the measurements of how far apart all of the planets are from each other.  The measurements were scaled down to what it would be like in centimeters and inches.  With chalk they got to draw a line with points showing where the different planets would be.
