Larsen students enjoyed an interactive reading reward for the month of December.  3rd grade teachers put a Christmas trivia game together using multiple choice questions on a program called "Kahoot".  The participants would have to be the first to answer electronically on the chromebook to receive their points. The teams were matched students against teachers.  Teachers came out victorious but the students sure gave it their best shot.  Keep up the great reading students during the holiday break!

Larsen 4th Grade had a visit from a real life “Rough & Tough Mountain Man”!  Scott Grizzly Sorensen came and shared tale tales and stories about all the mountain men we’ve been learning about. Students were scared out of their seats when he set his beaver trap and it SNAPPED shut!  He let all the 4th graders see his different hides and even touch them.  He also left a copy of his latest book, be sure to check it out at the library. Dear Mr. Mountain Man, by Scott Grizzly Sorensen.

Larsen Elementary had Santa and his helpers show up to our school Christmas sing-a-long.  The students had a great time singing with him, his reindeer and elves.  Thank you 4th, 5th and 6th grade teachers for leading us in some Christmas cheer!

The Larsen Elementary Choir performed a inspiring Christmas program for all the students today.  They sang many of the Christmas favorites but also had learned festive songs from others countries and cultures.  Mrs. Richardson and Mrs. Wilson are over the choir and do a fanatstic job.  Thanks for all your hard work!

It was fun to have Mrs. Solis and her class sing Christmas songs in Spanish to the all the students at Larsen today.  The sang "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and "Jingle Bells".  Great job boys and girls and Feliz Navidad everyone.

An important part of 5th grade history is the Civil War and slavery. Larsen 5th grade students had the chance to create a quilt like those used on the underground railroad to show the path to freedom. Each square tells its own story!
