LFS Pre-Kers were back on campus last week, and very glad to be so. What is better than an easel and red paint? Pre-Kers love being together in school. #LFSeducation #LFScreative

As Tr. Priya reads to her 3rd and 4th graders, they are learning to predict and interpret language. #LFSeducation #LFSproblemsolving

Tr. Jen reads to 1st and 2nd graders, and they listen to sounds of language. Then everyone chooses a book and signs it out. #LFSeducation #LFSpreK #LFSlanguagearts

Pasta Day is a school-wide effort--starting with tablecloths and plates, to cups, cutting fruit and vegetables, opening jars of pickles and olives, cooking pot after pot of pasta, 5 crock pots of sauce...and ending with a massive 3rd and 4th grade clean up.
