Students at the Elementary School had a blast celebrating the 67th day of school with fun Six-Seven activities! They worked on six-seven themed projects, enjoyed a six-minute building-wide read-aloud, and wrapped up the celebration with a seven-minute dance party.
Students in the L.Y.O.N.S. Afterschool Program spent a festive afternoon creating ornaments with Ms. Jessica and other staff members. They explored their creativity, practiced fine motor skills, and worked together to design unique holiday decorations. The activity was full of fun, teamwork, and holiday cheer!
Students at the MS/HS explored Project Adventure stations in PE designed to encourage communication, teamwork, and cooperation. The activities challenged them to work together to overcome obstacles, whether navigating blindfolded or developing strategies to solve problems, all while having fun and building essential skills.
Ms. Panneitz’s UPK class had a festive time working in holiday-themed centers! Students explored fun activities that encouraged creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork while getting into the holiday spirit.
Mr. Consadine’s class is diving deeper into their rocks and minerals lessons! Students are using reference tables to review key concepts, identify different types of rocks and minerals, and strengthen their understanding through hands-on practice and guided review.
Students at the Elementary School are spreading holiday cheer through the LES Student Council! Council members visited the younger classrooms to work with students, helping them create holiday cards for a local nursing home.
The Lyons Modified Track team hit the track for an exciting meet! Students challenged themselves in multiple events, showcasing determination, teamwork, and a love for the sport.
Ms. Triplett's class recently wrapped up an exciting two-week project on volcanoes! Students explored the parts of a volcano, how they form, and what happens during and after an eruption. To bring their learning to life, the class worked together to build a model volcano using newspaper, glue, and a soda bottle, then painted it to make it look as realistic as possible. The project ended with a fun and interactive eruption demonstration using a mixture of baking soda, dish soap, vinegar, food coloring, and water—giving students a hands-on look at volcanic activity in action!
Before school began, a small group of MS/HS teachers joined Coffee with the Coaches to collaborate and reflect on the 5-week Building Thinking Classrooms series. Teachers discussed key principles, shared practical strategies, and supported one another in applying these approaches to boost student thinking and engagement in their classrooms.
