Second grade students at Sierra Bonita Elementary rang in the holidays by performing two holiday songs for the entire student body.  The second grade students rehearsed weekly for a month and gave an amazing performance.

The students at Sierra Bonita Elementary enjoyed celebrating their reading achievements in a school wide "It Pays to Read" assembly just prior to Christmas break. All students who participated in our It Pays to Read program received a packet of restaurant coupons and a movie pass to Water Gardens Spanish 8 Theater. In addition, students' names were entered into a drawing (one ticket for each week the reading goal was met) for hundreds of books and bigger prizes.

HELP!  First graders at Sierra Bonita made a gingerbread man today and he ran away! He's about one foot tall, has peppermint eyes, a brown m&m nose, and red and green gumdrop buttons.  He goes by the name of Gingy. If you have any ideas on his whereabouts, please send him back to us.  THANK YOU!

The 3rd grade recently completed research projects. Some of them are on countries, animals or other topics.  Mrs. Christensen's class all did country reports and have been presenting them for the class and parents. They covered things like daily life, capitals, population, and what the country looks like. They have had fun while learning a lot about our world.  They made posters, typed up their reports, and presented them in front of the class. Some students brought in items, money, and food from that country. It was a lot of fun.

On December 2nd, second graders from Sierra Bonita had the opportunity to go to Christmas Around the World at BYU.  We saw dances from many different cultures.  Among our favorites were the bottle dance from Israel, a scarf dance from Mexico, and the river dance from Ireland.  It was fun to see talented dancers portray the holiday traditions of different cultures from all around the world
