SEPTEMBER

Welcome

During the first week of school our house leaders organized team building and cooperative games for our 5th and 6th grade students. Each class competed in 3 of the 6 events. There were two classes at each event. Leaky bucket relay, big t-shirt relay, sponge relay, sponge catch relay, super soaker, and towell ring out. The students wore comfortable clothes that they didn't mind getting wet in and brought a towel to dry off. The PTO bought popsicles for each child to have after the event. We played inspiring music that the students seemed to have fun dancing to while they were in line for the event. This activity was designed to kick off the year with a bang and to have students get to know each other better and their teachers in a fun way. Here are some pictures from the event. Our 4th grade students all took part in building a human flag to celebrate our freedom, patriotism, and to remember and honor fallen heroes the week of September 11th. We also had an assembly where a former student who enlisted in the armed services came and spoke to our students. See the video of the flag at the following link:** [|LIS Human Flag] **









On Tuesdays and Thursdays we have morning meetings in the cafeteria with our entire 4th and 5th grade students while giving teachers time to meet with instructional supervisors of Math and Language Arts.
