Thursday May 16, 2013 Larsen 4th Grade visited "This Is The Place" in Salt Lake City.  They started the day by attending school, meeting their new teacher and learning new school rules, then everyone headed over to pull or push a handcart.  4th Graders watched and learned a little about being a Blacksmith and then it was off for a ride around the park on the train for a history lesson. We ate our sack lunches then boarded the buses and leaped through time back to 2013 and arrived safe and sound at Larsen. Way To Go Leopards!!

Larsens “Mr. B,” the Beekeeper (also known as Mr. Bingham, School Counselor) amazed Larsen’s Kindergarteners by showing them how bees make honey, giving out tastes of honey from his own hives and showing the fancy clothes beekeepers wear.  Our Kindergarteners also learned about the different kinds of Bees, workers, queens, drones, guards, and fanners. Thank you Mr. B!!

Larsen Elementary second graders recently took a field trip to the Farm Field Days at harwood Farms in Springville.  We learned about farming and how important agriculture is to everyone.  We started off the day seeing how a sheep gets a hair cut, the farmers like to call it sheering.  As the days get warmer the sheep love to get rid of their heavy winter wool coat. 
We learned about bees, chickens, sheep and cows.  We learned about where milk, beef, and eggs come from.  We learned to eat healthy good foods for our bodies to be strong and healthy.  We had a terrific day at the Harwood Farm. WAY TO GO LEOPARDS!!!!

First Graders Celebrate 100 Days of School!!

On January 28th, first graders at Larsen Elementary celebrated their 100th day of school! Everyone knows that a celebration calls for. . .cake and balloons!
It was a fun-filled day full of cake, streamers, balloons, confetti and various activities. Every first grader brought 100 things from home to put on their desks to display for our 100th Day Parade. Each first grade class was able to parade through the other first grade rooms and observe all of the creative things other first graders brought to show. Some of these items consisted of 100 pennies, water balloons, legos, candies, etc.
Another fun activity consisted of drawing a self-portrait of what our first graders think they might look like at 100 years old! A lot of them looked pretty good for their age!
We love school (and cake too) and are 100 days smarter! :)

Recently Ms. Woods 5th grade students earned a class pajama movie party.  The students were able to come to school wearing their pajamas and bring their favorite stuffed animal to join in the fun.  Some of the things the students had to do to earn their party were: everyone turn their homework in, come in from recess on time, quietly do their classwork, keep their classroom clean.  Students had a wonderful time and enjoyed taking a short break from the normal classroom routine.  Keep up the good work!  Way To Go Leopards!
