On September 19th Larsen Elementary 2nd Graders attended the Hutchings Museum in Lehi. The students learned about birds, ocean life, Utah Pioneers, dinosaurs, fossils, Native Americans, Wild West guns and memorabilia. The 2nd Graders also ate lunch and played at North Park in Spanish Fork. What a fun day they had!
Larsen Elementary was happy to have "The NED Show" visit our school. This show teaches students about being champions at school and in life. NED is an acronym for Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best. As they taught these values they showed some amazing yo-yo tricks. They even made the Eiffel Tower with the yo-yo string! We had lot's of laughs and fun while learning some important life lessons.
Thursday May 8, 2014 we held our final assembly for our Champions Challenge Rodeo Reading Contest. We started on April 1, by having the host Randy Munns, the rodeo clown, along with members of the Spanish Fork Fiesta Days Royalty and members of the Rodeo Committee, come and officially kick off the challenge here at Larsen Elementary.
Wednesday May 7, 2014 we had the privilege of hearing our own Larsen Sixth Grade Orchestra perform in an assembly for our entire student body. Their teacher is Kim Derfler. They performed favorites such as "Ode to Joy" and "Cannon in D." Gianna Paice played "Part of Your World," from "The Little Mermaid" on her violin. The orchestra has greatly improved since we last saw them at Christmas time. WAY TO GO LEOPARDS!!
Our First graders have been practicing very hard for their year end program coming up next week. They are doing an awesome job singing and learning lots of fun new songs to sing for their families, friends and parents. Keep up the good work First Grade. WAY TO GO LEPOARDS!!!
Our Larsen Elementary Kindergarteners helped Easter "Drop" in by holding their annual Easter egg hunt and egg drop. They started by finding hidden eggs around the playground and then we were excited to watch the egg drop contest begin!! At home, each student has to put their egg in something to try and make his/her egg unbreakable when it drops from Larsens roof. The students are very creative, wrapping their eggs in sponges, bubble wrap, toilet papaer, shoes, boxes and many more crazy and fun things. Mr. V and Mr. Andersen helped out by dropping the packages from the roof.
