Submitted by sabrina.huyett on Fri, 05/20/2011 - 15:34

Wednesday night, May 18th, was the 4th Grade Dance Night.  Boys from the 4th grade came with their mother, grandmother, aunt or sister and danced with them for an hour.  Then the girls from the 4th grade came with their father, grandfather, uncle, or brother and danced with them for an hour.  They did line dances, square dances, and much more.  That night as well as for the past months, the students have been learning the dances from Heather Hughes so that they would be tied to the 4th grade Social Studies and Fine Arts Curriculum as well as the Beverly Taylor Sorenson Arts Learning Program.

Medieval Times

Submitted by sabrina.huyett on Wed, 05/18/2011 - 15:07

Tuesday, May 11th, 2011 was Medieval Day for 6th graders at Hobble Creek Elementary.  For a month now the four 6th grade classes (Mrs. Snow’s, Miss Johnson’s, Mrs. Nissen, and Mrs. Hayes class) have been preparing for this day.  The students had to do a 3 hour project that represented Medieval Times.  There were projects that were castles, catapults, horses, shields and much more.  The students had to also dress-up to look like medieval times.  Parents and other classes were given the opportunity to come and see the 4 classrooms.  In Mrs. Snow’s classroom, the students that had made catapults were able to have a contest to see which catapult would shoot marshmallows the farthest.
