Bean 2.jpgBrigham Young University’s Bean Museum made a special visit to the fourth grade on November 17, to share some information about Utah’s plants and animals. The fourth grade learned about 3 major ecosystems in Utah, and some of the plants and animals both dead and alive that lived in each one. They were able to see a live Pac-man Frog, and they learned about how it can breathe through its skin. They also saw a Bearded Dragon, which is a lizard that lives in Australia. Each student even got to touch the lizard’s scaly back! They left the scariest for the last, they brought out a real-life snake! Some students even got the opportunity to hold the snake for a picture. The fourth graders had a lot of fun learning about all of the different animals, and give a big “thanks” to the Bean Museum for sharing their animals with us!

Students of all ages were heard saying "It was the best program ever!", "Awesome" and "I want to do that!" as they left the assembly. Thank you Sounding Brass for helping Sage Creek students get excited about music!
