Happy Birthday Dr Seuss!

Submitted by teresa.beebe on Tue, 03/02/2021 - 11:56

Larsen Elementary is celebrating the birthday of one of our favorite authors today.  Dr. Seuss books are loved by everyone and have brought so much joy to readers.  Each class this year made a video of them reading some of his books and shared them with the school.  We had videos of "Oh the Places You'll Go", "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish", "The Cat in the Hat" and of course, "The Grinch".  There were many others also and we even had green eggs and ham for lunch.   Dr. Seuss we love you!

Larsen is Celebrating Kindness Week

Submitted by teresa.beebe on Tue, 02/16/2021 - 12:47

 For the last couple of weeks, as part of library time, students have been talking a lot about how words have power.  They saw how a simple act of kindness can change someone's day and that how they treat each other makes a difference.  In celebration of Random Acts of Kindness Day, each student K-6 was given a small heart and was asked to think of one positive or kind word or compliment they could think of to write on that heart.  Then our older students grades 3-6 strung those hearts into confetti garland.
