Mrs. Eckhardt's kindergarten classes celebrated Nursery Rhyme day.  Each child dressed up like a character from a nursery rhyme, and shared their rhyme with the class.  They also made retelling puppets for several nursery rhymes, and tasted curds and whey.  Way to go Kindergarteners!

Our own Mrs. Head received the PEAK Award last night.  This award stands for Positive Energy and Kind employees.  Mrs. Head is always so kind and friendly to everyone that comes to Larsen. She makes everyone feel loved and accepted.  We love you Mrs. Head and appreciate all you do for Larsen.   She was nominated by Principal Andersen.  Below is the nomination that was written about her.

4-H Registration begins this Thursday morning (January 15, 2015) at 7:00 am.  Please use the following link to get a "ticket" for the event.  You don’t need to even print the tickets.  The cost for this session is $10.00, with a special buy one, get one half off ($5.00 for the second class) which needs to be paid in the office.  The program to register is different than we have used before, but we think you will like the change. You DO have to sign up for eventbrite before you can get "tickets" but it only requires an email and a password.

Our 3rd graders were lucky to have Claudia Jex come into their classes and show them how to make some snowman chalk art.  Mrs. Jex is the Visual Art Specialist for the district.  Larsen Elementary was given some grant money from the Beverly Taylor Sorensen Arts Learning Program to purchase some special art materials for each classroom. Thanks Mrs. Jex for helping us learn more about art! 

Larsen 1st graders came up with some great resolutions for 2015. It sure sounds like they are going to have an amazing year!  We know that they are a bunch of terrific kids.
