Today Kindergarten had western day. We tried roping, horseshoes , and riding a "horse".






Today third grade used supplies that they earned in their stem kits from the Book Blast! The object was to work in groups to build a swing or two for two small "toys". Without assistance from a teacher they were all successful in building a structure that did not topple or collapse when used! Great job future engineers!




Preschool LOVED making icees today! They tried so hard with the penny wars and had so much fun! Thank you parents for all the preschool participation! ❤️


Today Kindergarten enjoyed Bubble Day. We read books about bubbles, painted by blowing bubbles and just enjoyed making bubbles outside. We also had Snowballs for snack because they look like a bubble on a table with bubbly Sprite to drink.



Artist of the Week this week is Jianna Burnett! Congrats!

More Kindergarten field trip fun. We got to learn some of the zoo animal names from Mrs. Luttrell's mom. Ms. Gant is a volunteer at Scovill Zoo and joined us for our walk around Scovill telling us names and animal facts.






Thursday, May 4 LGS Kindergarten went to the Children's Museum of Central Illinois and Scovill Zoo. We got to go at the Sam time as AHGS and AGS. Fun was had by all. We couldn't of had a prettier day.










Third grade had so much fun yesterday on their field trip to the Children's Museum and Spitler's Woods! They learned how to build their very own robots in their stem class!
