Happy National Library Week! In addition to all of the lessons and read-alouds in the library media center, here's a little snapshot of some stats from this year. The LSHE Library Media Center is a hopping place!
This week in library media class, LSHE students began a two week residency with artist, Mica Lee Anders. We are learning about wordless picture by oks and began creating our very own book!
This programming is funded by a MN State Arts Board grant, made possible by the citizens of Minnesota through appropriations from the Minnesota State Legislature.

From the classroom to the mic. This MCA rap is for our amazing students, because learning is better with a beat. The teachers here at LSH are so proud of all of the hard work, growth, and confidence we have seen this year. Now it is time for the students to shine on those tests.

Wow nothing says spring like these beautiful green paintings! Kindergartners explored mixing blue and yellow to make a variety of greens. I love the happy sounds of color mixing exploration..."Wow look at THIS green!" "Whoa that green is so dark!" "Look at that bright yellow green she made! " "Our water is all green now!" Such joy!

On Friday, Ms. Eischens’ second graders and Mrs. Floersch’s kindergarteners came together for a special buddy activity to build kites! The older students did an amazing job guiding and encouraging their kindergarten partners, showing patience, kindness, and leadership every step of the way. Together, they carefully designed and created their kites, helping one another and celebrating each little success along the way.

There were so many smiles, laughs, and proud moments as their creations started to come to life. It was so fun to see friendships grow and teamwork shine between the two classes! We couldn’t have asked for a better way to welcome the first day of spring than by collaborating, creating, and making such sweet memories together. 🌸🪁💛

Ms. Nancy joined us for another day of storytelling. Students enjoyed using their own storytelling skills and Nancy's puppets to share tales from around the world. We are grateful to H.A.V.E. for this opportunity. The students look forward to their time with Nancy and students who have been able to see her on multiple occasions have really blossomed into great storytellers. Storytelling isn't just fun. Storytelling boosts memory and learning, fosters inclusion and empathy, improves communication skills, encourages creativity and critical thinking, and nurtures cultural understanding.
