Highlights from the Week of April 7th at LCCS

Even though spring break was almost upon us this made last week incredibly exciting with events highlighting our tremendously talented students.

The week began with the annual Middle School Talent Show.  The evening included songs, dances, and films made by our students.  

If you missed the event this year consider joining us next year. It truly is one of the best tickets in town.  


Each kindergarten class presented a play based on their collaboration with Ms. Jaffrey.  Each play was remarkably different and highlighted the tremendous collaboration that occurs between Ms. Jaffrey, Ms. Vanderhorn, Ms. Turner, and Ms. Porter, and our kindergarten families.

Later in the week the first grade hosted a publishing party to present their books based on their animal research.  Ms. Jaffrey also led each first grade class in a special xylophone performance as well.

2nd grade has entered into the world of fractions.  Students can already see how fractions are used in everyday life, especially when you want to split a cookie equally amongst two friends or four friends! 

In Spanish our 5th graders are creating books about people of their choosing (friends, family members, or celebrities) and describing them using adjectives and character trait vocabulary words they've learned in class.  

We held our first Coffee and Conversation session on Friday for parents to discuss questions, concerns, or to simply learn more about what is going on at school.  Two parents joined us for our initial session and I'm looking forward to our next one on Friday, May 2nd at 8:30.  

The week concluded with our school recognition of April as poetry month.  Students in grades 5-8 attended a performance and workshops led by the international award winning slam poet, Gayle Danley.  We were all moved to both laughter and tears by Ms. Gayle's incredible performance.  Our K-4 students attended an incredible poetry and music performance called "Poetry and Precussion, Beats, Rhymes, and Life" by the rappers, drummers, and musicians, Josh and Jacob.  All of our 4th graders attended a workshop with Josh and Jacob after the performance on drumming, rapping, and poetry.  Both performances were funded through the Student Activity Fee.  

I hope that everyone has a relaxing spring break and I look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday, April 21st.
