Happy Friday!-- From the LCE Special Education Team!

LCE 3rd graders created "Rocket Balloons!" Students worked together to problem solve using team building skills and perseverance.

In 3rd grade ELA at LCE, students explored perspective by rewriting a scene from The Wind in the Willows through the eyes of a different character.

The one and only "Mr. J" has been collecting fundraising coops for years and today they were raffled off to one very lucky student!! #weareNR

LCE 3rd graders participated in their first House STEM Challenge Friday!

Camp Myers wrapped up the year with a fun-filled celebration of all their hard work in first grade! Students worked together to build their own campfires, read stories by flashlight, wrote step by step about how to make s’mores, and ended the day making—and enjoying—real s’mores. What a sweet way to celebrate a fantastic year!
