Seussical Celebration

Submitted by natalee.hansen on Fri, 03/28/2014 - 13:10

Larsen Elementary recently celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday with a very Seussical celebration.  We started the morning with a special assembly and sang the song "Dr. Seuss, We Love You."  We read part of McElligot's Pool as a school and then each class, Kindergarten through 6th grade memorized a Dr. Seuss poem and recited it in front of the entire student body during the assembly.  Everyone did a wonderful job!

The rest of the school day was filled with more Dr. Seuss stories and reading fun.  Dr. Seuss would be proud of our Larsen Leopards!!  WAY TO GO LEOPARDS!!!

Larsen Elementary's Fourth Graders have been learning about Utah pioneers and traveled back in time to the 1850s. Dressed as Pioneers, they celebrated this day by playing pioneer games, churning butter, pioneer cooking and crafts.  The highlight of the day was dancing the Virginia Reel and the Texas Star for and with their parents.

For Chinese New Year here at Larsen, we were privileged to have Mr. & Mrs. Robison come and speak to the 1st grade and 5th grade students about the culture and traditions that are customary in China for the New Year Celebration. Mrs. Robison spent 2 years living there while serving an LDS Mission. The celebration lasts 15 days and this year is the year of the horse. The Chinese calendar has 12 different animal symbols which rotate every year.
