I can pray to my Heav’nly Father
Anytime, anywhere.
For He always cares,
And He hears my prayers—
Anytime, anywhere.I can listen for heav’nly guidance

The Spirit will guide
As I seek His light—
Anytime, anywhere.

Results And Roses
By Edgar Guest
The man who wants a garden fair,
Or small or very big,
With flowers growing here and there,
Must bend his back and dig.
The things are mighty few on earth
That wishes can attain.
Whate’er we want of any worth
We’ve got to work to gain.
It matters not what goal you seek
Its secret here reposes:
You’ve got to dig from week to week
To get Results or Roses.
Our next book club will be held on April 10. The book is The Dreamer by Pam Munoz Ryan.
Parade of Earth Science
One of my most favorite things about summer is attending parades. Parades have a magical quality to them that captures the imagination and stirs a sense of wonder. They blend color, movement, and sound into a lively spectacle that can feel like a fairy tale. This week you are going to make a mini parade float (the size of a shoe box) that will dazzle your audience! Click here for a few ideas of what I mean, some of them aren’t really floats, but they will give you some ideas. First, you need to choose one of the following subjects that interests you:
- A geological feature of Utah: the iconic arches of Arches National Park, the unique hoodoos of Bryce Canyon, the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument’s diverse landscapes, the Wave at Coyote Buttes, or Bonneville Salt Flats. Any geological feature will do!
- Greenhouse gasses: What are they, where do they come from, and why are they such a big deal?
- Endangered species: choose an animal that is endangered and create a 3d model of them surrounded by their natural habitat. Include information about what is threatening this animal and how to help.
- Let your book be your guide: look through your Planet Earth! book and find something that sparks your interest. Use that to let your imagination run wild!
- Recycling: pretend you own a recycling business and you want to recruit people to use your services. Create a float that will convince them to recycle. Make sure it includes items that can be recycled, and items that can’t.
- Animal sanctuary: pretend you run an animal sanctuary that rescues a certain type of animal (such as eagles, wolves, bears etc). Make a float that will get the audience excited about donating their time and money to help you rescue these animals.
- Biomes- choose a biome that interests you and create a float that teaches your audience about it’s unique features. Some biomes include tropical rainforest, tundra, desert, and savanna.
Next, gather info from reliable sources. Write or type the important information about your subject.
Then you will plan out your float. Watch this video if you need a little help with planning. Plan out what your float will look like. What will be included? How will you make it super interesting to look at? Make a list of supplies you will need and gather those supplies. Once your supplies are gathered, get to work! Remember to make it colorful, 3d, and exciting. A little sparkle never hurt anyone 🙂 You can also include sound and lights! If you have a sound you want to play, you can send it to me and I will have it ready.
Last, I want you to write 5 sentences that the parade announcer will read as your float passes the audience. These sentences must include:
- An attention grabbing description of your subject or topic.
- Why this topic is important.
- What you want your audience to know about your topic.
- How they can help.
Here is an example of what I would write if my float was about a wolf sanctuary:
Imagine a place where wolves roam freely, safe from harm and able to live as nature intended—this is the mission of Howling Pines wolf sanctuary. Wolves play a crucial role in maintaining balance in ecosystems by regulating prey populations and preventing overgrazing. You can help by donating, volunteering, or simply spreading awareness about the importance of wolves in our world. Fun fact: wolves communicate using a variety of sounds, including howls, barks, and growls, each with its own meaning! By supporting the sanctuary, you’re not just helping individual wolves, you’re helping to preserve an essential species for future generations.
I would also play howling sounds for my float!
Print your announcer’s script, and bring it to class along with your float.
Speaking of parades, have your parents put June 14 on your calendar so you can join us at the Springville parade! It is probably my most favorite day of summer! Some of you joined us last year and we had a blast playing games, eating snacks, and chasing after candy. It would be so fun to have all of the Juniors and your families join us this year!
