Larsen 5th Graders are getting ready for their State Fair and wax museum.  They have been working hard on their projects and learning all about the great country we live in.  The Fair  will be held on Friday, May 5th.  Parents are invited to come tour and listen to all the interesting facts about each state from a famous person (aka a smart 5th grader) from 1:00-2:30 PM.  Make sure your student has their diorama and costume ready.

This week our PTA is celebrating all of the AWESOME teachers here at Larsen Elementary.  The week started with our PTA members decorating each classroom door.  The staff has enjoyed all the snacks and lunches too that they have provided for us.  Thank you PTA members for honoring all of the amazing people that work here at Larsen Elementary.

Larsen 2nd graders have been learning about our solar system.  These students made a replica on paper about all the planets, the sun and stars.  They even showed how they were aligned in space. Our 2nd grade seems to have some future astronomers.  Great job!

Larsen 6th graders have been studying the Renaissance period and learned about the artist Michelangelo. Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling for four years on his back using custom scaffolding 59 feet above the floor.  Students tried to draw on their backs underneath their desks to see how i felt to create a masterpiece in that position.  Larsen Elementary has some brilliant artist for sure.

Our 2nd grade teachers put together an awesome karaoke and dance off competition for our Leopard Pride Assembly.  A couple students from  each class were chosen to perform in front of the everyone and 4 judges.  We didn't know that Larsen Elementary students had so many great dancers.  We even had a few of the staff that were chosen to go up and show their dancing skills.  Great job Larsen Leopards!
