Golden Spike Elementary

Some fun times in 4th grade!!

These first graders rocked the dress up days this week!

Mrs. Simpson’s class had “gingerbread day” with math, reading, and writing all focusing on gingerbread! Learning is so fun this time of year!

Red and Green Day!

Our 4th graders have been getting excited for the holidays!

During STEM this week the first grade classes did a candy cane experiment! We put candy canes in vinegar, sprite, cold water, and hot water to see which substance would dissolve it the quickest!

Our Chinese dual language classes have been partnering up to support each other in learning the awesome Chinese language! Here are some of our fifth and third grade partnerships. It is so fun to hear them share their learning in another language and see students working hard together.

Dear parents, It appears there has been some miscommunication regarding Tuesday's sing-along. This activity is for students to enjoy some Christmas cheer prior to the holiday.  It is not a choir performance and simply a fun activity for students to sing together. Students are not expected to wear certain kinds of clothes or colors.  In fact, Santa is coming (shhh...don't tell them!) so they are encouraged to wear their pajamas.  We will be recording and will send out links to that next week.  Thanks for understanding as we navigate the new traditions at Golden Spike.  We apologize for the confusion. 

Golden Spike Staff participated in paint night, led by our fantastic art teacher Mrs. Anderson. We have some very creative people in our midst!

Buddy and Santa, from Box Elder High, came to visit some of our students!!

Last month, the third graders each received a student dictionary from the Rotary Club. They have loved using them at school and at home!

Some of Golden Spikes 2nd graders and 1st Graders did reading buddies. The 2nd graders helped the 1st graders read a book about water and they worked together to sort items into solid, liquid and gas!
