Out and about…

Daily walkabouts yield great results on any given day…the conversations with learners, the engaging work, the hugs, the reminders of why and how we do what we do everyday…what a blessing to have this opportunity to serve daily!  During my morning stroll, several items caught my eye:

IMG_3720Heartprints are those special ways you help and touch the lives of those around you in unique, heartfelt ways.  A great group of writers captured the spirit of giving heartprints by reflecting on ways to share with others…certainly a great way to fill your soul in heartwarming style!

Likewise, our 5th grade Social Studies classes are IMG_3713tracking the hearty events of the Winter Olympics with daily medal counts in a fabulous visual graph worthy of special notice.  Forget the NBC count; these learners have created a medal masterpiece, all while sharing fun facts and statistics for the entire school to enJOY!

IMG_3717We have a large group of book buddies who “chews” to work weekly in reading, writing, and learning with younger friends (it’s a LME tradition).  These younger friends shared a special display of thanks; you can tell they definitely “have a ball” together!

. . . and we can’t allow the big IMG_3712100th day of school to go unnoticed!  Our Kinder friends shared their love for all things 100 by completing over 100 reasons why they love our school…so impressive!

Yes, out and about are the best ways to get a feel for the action across LME these days.  We hope you’ll stop by soon to visit and share your adventure while you’re out and about in our building…

A pink princess party…

As you know I affectionately share how we have a complete “buffet of services” on our campus everyday—lots of academic and instructional girlscoloringPPPsetting choices to meet any need.  There is one unique PreK program we especially enJOY though; these young friends come for early intervention work in speech.  These 3-and-4-year-olds work in a language-enriched educational environment through unique sensory, hands-on activities in meaningful and engaging ways; today was certainly no exception.

pinkprincesspartyA particular group of little girls working on the “p” sound this week celebrated the day with a pretty pink princess party!  From talking and coloring giant princess pictures to sharing a snack together, these little princesses partied in real royal style.  “We made a wand and a crown ’cause all princesses have wands and crowns, you know.”  Ahhh . . . to be a pretty pink princess once again . . .  🙂

Principal Luncheon

lunch1It’s always a great day when we can celebrate and break bread together during the honored tradition of our LME Principal Luncheon.  LME friends traveled to Red Robin with Mrs. Bass and me to enJOY a scrumptious meal topped off withlunch2 a deluxe ice cream sundae and lots of sprinkles. Special congratulations to these learners for reaching personal success and excellence by having all A’s in academics and conduct, and absolutely perfect attendance (not one tardy or early leave mark).  We are proud of your accomplishments and look forward to more great meals with you!  🙂
