We are excited to start having you meet our new employees for next year. Mrs. VanHaaften will be joining our 3rd grade!
"Hi, I’m Mrs. VanHaaften (Mrs. Van)! I am excited to be a new third-grade teacher here at Three Mile Creek Elementary! I grew up in Syracuse, Utah and I will be graduating from Utah State University this upcoming May with a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. I enjoy spending time with my husband and dog, as well as reading a good book! I can’t wait to help my students learn and grow this upcoming school year!"
Third graders are creating artwork after the manner of the artist Louise Nevelson. They are in need of small objects that would normally be thrown away (small cans, lids, etc.). They are also creating a community weaving and we need old white or light colored sheets that can be cut and dyed for our weaving. If you are able and willing to donate please drop your donations in the blue bin just inside the art room door. Thanks!
4th Graders’ drawings of waterfowl. It’s optional for 4th Grade students to enter their artwork in the Jr Duck Stamp Contest. See Mrs Shakespear for an entry form (due February 28).
Mrs White, our awesome librarian, dressed as Waldo today to teach students how to find things in a library. She talked about the “Where’s Waldo” books with students and then they were put into teams to find Waldos hidden throughout the library.
Sledding fun at Three Mile Creek!!!
Habitat landscapes by 2nd Grade artists. Students mixed all of their own colors for these landscapes using the primary colors. They also learned how to use a horizon line and how to create depth by drawing things closer to them bigger and things further away smaller.
Snow!!
Fun game in PE. I don’t know what it is, but they are loving it!

A few fun facts about me
⁃ I went to Three Mile Creek when I was young and the school was brand new.
⁃ I love to be outdoors hunting, fishing, camping, riding horses and 4-wheeling.
⁃ I have been happily married for about 3 months now.
I am so excited to learn all the fun facts about you and watch what this year will bring! I’m sure you will be hearing more from me soon, and I would love it if you contacted me with any questions or concerns that I may be able to help with!

In 5th grade Science, we are learning what plants eat. And we discovered they eat air! We then did an investigation to find out if air has weight. If you have a 5th grader, ask them what we did and what they discovered.
More sand mandalas from Wednesday’s art classes! (Sorry 4th grade—I started sweeping it up and remembered I didn’t take a picture!)

Sand Mandalas! In art we studied Mandalas from different cultures that are created out of sand. Tuesday art classes got a sense of what it is like to create these temporary collaborative pieces of art.
