Open House A Huge Success!
Thank you to all of our parents for making K-2 and 3-5 Open Houses a huge success! We had a super turnout and our teachers delivered some comprehensive presentations as well as engaging activities to give a small idea of what life is like for our students here at LMES!
Making Connections in Second Grade
Earlier this week, I stopped by a second-grade classroom and got to sit in during their Morning Meeting (a planned activity that builds connections between students and teaches empathy and appropriate social skills). The class was building a physical web out of string by passing the ball from student to student. The teacher, Mrs. Power, stated, "We discussed how we are a community and how everything we do can and will affect others in our community. We demonstrated this by pulling the string. It is a big concept, but we will build on it more as the year progresses." Just one example of the proactive, social-emotional work we are doing at LMES to teach the WHOLE child!

Bean Towers
In second grade, students engage in weekly STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) activities. Last week, students collaborated to construct towers that would hold as many beans as possible. They placed beans around the base of the castle until the beanstalk topples over! Then, they count the beans to see which one held the most.
Bridges Math in Action
Region 15 started using the Bridges math program last year in grades kindergarten through 3rd, and this year expanded to 4th and 5th. Here are some pictures that were taken during kindergarten and 3rd-grade Work Places. The photos demonstrate work in the areas of geometry, counting, patterns and multiplication!
