Teacher Appreciation Week

Submitted by teresa.beebe on

We wanted to thank our PTA and Larsen families for an amazing Teacher appreciation week!  The PTA made us breakfast, lunch, treats, prizes, sidewalk pictures, movie night and even took over every class for 30 minutes so that teachers could have a longer lunch.  We are so grateful for all their hard work and all the time they put into making Larsen a great place to be!  We love our PTA!

We Went to the Zoo!

Larsen Kindergarten-2nd grades all took a field trip to Hogle Zoo on Wednesday.  The students were so excited about how active the polar bear, otters and elephants were that day.  They learned about the animals and habitats of all different species.  We had many parent helpers that day also to help keep all the kids where they were supposed to be.  Thanks to everyone for helping make this field a success!

The Living Planet Aquarium came to 4th grade and talked about animals and their habitats.  There were 2 snakes and a salamander that students got to meet.  Some even were brave enough to touch them.  It was fun also because one of  presenters was our own Mrs. Head's daughter.  Thank you Living Planet Aquarium for helping us learn new things!

Chalk the Walk Teacher Appreciation

Submitted by teresa.beebe on

Our amazing PTA set up an activity for families to come to the school and write messages to the teachers and staff here at Larsen on the sidewalks.  Students were having so much fun drawing pictures and talking all about their teachers.  It was heartwarming to see how much our kids love school and the people here at Larsen.  Thank you for showing everyone so much appreciation!

Mr. Sansom Visits 4th Grade

Submitted by teresa.beebe on

Mr. Sansom spent the afternoon in Mrs. Wilson’s class yesterday teaching the fourth graders about tableaux vivant, or a living, frozen picture. We created our own tableaux featuring a scene from Wonder. It was incredibly cool to think deeply about the characters in this scene, and what their thoughts and feelings were in that moment. Thanks, Mr. Sansom, for doing this drama activity with us! We loved it!
