Lakeside Moves to Jefferson for the day...and learning remains a priority!

Today was quite an interesting day for Lakeside...the water pump broke and we had to move to Jefferson Elementary to continue learning for the day! Jefferson welcomed us with open arms, and teachers were able to continue teaching in a new environment. These pictures show the great learning that took place today!

Early Release!

It's early release today...we're out at 2:45pm!

Learners of ALL ages!

Learners for Life is our mission...and it's what teachers believe about themselves, too! Students were released from school early on Wednesday, and while students were away playing, teachers were collaborating! Our school improvement goal is to meet individual student needs with research-based interventions. We are working hard and this picture shows teachers reading and reflecting on their progress made so far this year. Learners for Life...you bet!

Second Grade Uses "Action" in Science

Our second grade students are learning about gravity and forces in science and using active learning to understand the concepts of push and pull. Today I found them scratching their head, taking off their shoes, and walking around the room! All examples included questions about the type of force they were using. Keep up the great work, second grade scientists!

Spelling Successes in Third Grade

Students in Mrs. Klas's classroom worked on solving spelling sorts that involved finding small word chunks within larger spelling words. Try this out: How many smaller words can you make out of the word scratch? (hat, car, rat...) Way to go, third graders!

Technology Excitement @ Lakeside!

If you thought 3 Smartboards in the building was exciting, how do you feel about 7?! On Friday, four more Smartboards were installed in classrooms at Lakeside. The kids (and teachers!) were SO excited! Check out this picture of installation in Mrs. Grasley's room. :)

Getting Back Into The Groove

As you walk through Lakeside's halls, you can see the students easing back into the routine...and enjoying every minute of it! I read with a few students in Mrs. Wagner's first grade classroom today and WOW those students are really working hard on fluent reading and sounding out words! Check out a few pictures of these first graders enjoying reading!
