October 6 was the day of the Farm  Field Trip for 2nd Graders.  Here are a few of their favorite things:  Miles said, "My favorite parts of Farm Field Day were the piglets and the 3D printers." Sophie had this to add, "I liked the seeds and the germ station."  Valerie commented, "My favorite part was learning about sheep."  Bradley said, "My favorite part was the Talking Tomato."  In addition Luke had this to say, "My favorite part of Farm Field Day was learning to wash our hands."  As you can tell, they had a great time and learned a lot!

A miracle happened in Mrs. Money's Kindergarten room this morning.  A monarch butterfly emerged from its cocoon at the exact moment that the class was reading about it in a book! What an exciting day!

On Monday, September 21, Canyon Elementary students, parents and families enjoyed a Carnival sponsered by the PTA,  Bounce houses and slides, a climbing wall and teacher dodgeball were a few of  the outside activities.  Inside carnival goers were entertained by a fish pond, hoop shoot, face-painting and much more.  There was also a local Rock Band providing music and of course pizza and treats to eat.  Several lucky people went home with prizes from a silent auction.  Thank you to the awesome Canyon PTA for a fun night!

I really lilked when the person from Discovery Gateway Children's Museum came to our school.  One of my favorite parts was when he made a foam guy by putting two ingredients into a Dixie cup.  It foamed out of the cup and made a head.  Then it dried in the head shape.  Another one of my favorite parts was when he made red, green, and orange fire.  He did this by burning different elements.  It was cool when he kept putting a cup on an experiement bottle and it kept shooting off.
