Larsen 4th Graders were lucky to have Dan Guthrie from KSL come and teach them about the weather and all that goes into forecasting.  The KSL Junior Weathers Specialist Program visits schools around the state teaching students about all the different kinds of weather that happen throughout Utah.  It was interesting to learn how they can tell what the weather will be and how they deliver it to television, radio and internet.  Thank you Dan Guthrie for helping us learn more about the weather!

Larsen 4th graders had fun celebrating Pioneer Day with dressing up in pioneer clothes, dancing, games, art and tasty food.  The students made covered wagon art, learned pioneer weaving, played pioneer games, ate cornbread and honey butter.  They ended the celebration with dancing the Virginia Reel and Texas Star for parents and visitors.  We were also glad the Mrs. Johnson came back to help them learn the dancing!  Way to go 4th graders!

Larsen Elementary students celebrated Valentine's Day by having some fabulous class parties and giving out special valentines to each other.    We sure have some TERRIFIC room mothers and teachers that helped put these parties together and make it fun day for everyone.  Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!
