With the help of donations from staff, Nurse Emily has started a program to teach students about the many benefits of houseplants and how to care for them. Students can learn how to care for different types of plants and when ready, adopt a plant of their own to take home. Studies have shown that having plants has many benefits such as: boosting creativity, being a natural stress reliever, improving mental health, teaching responsibility, increasing productivity, and cleaning the air. Here are a few of our first plants that were adopted by students! If you would like to learn more about this program or would consider donating established plants or supplies, please reach out to Nurse Emily!

Did you know that there are 44 sounds represented by the 26 letters in the English language? Even more interesting is that of those 44 sounds, 20 are vowel sounds! Many spelling patterns can have two or more sounds using a single spelling, making vowels the tricky part of words. Mrs. Curtis, the district Reading Specialist, has replaced a word wall in her room with a sound wall as a resource to help students understand and use the many vowel sounds and spelling patterns they encounter in their daily reading and writing. The mouth formation photos allow students to have one more piece of critical information-- what their mouth should look like and what they should feel inside their mouths when correctly making each sound. Knowing sound-spellings and how to produce vowel sounds is key for students as they learn to read and write since every word, or part of a word, contains one vowel sound.

La Farge Elementary and Kickapoo Valley Forest School 3K/4K Screening Day Information. CORRECTION
La Farge Schools and Kickapoo Valley Forest School will delayed by 2 hours on Thursday, January 5.
The 4K students participated in two different stations to practice more, less, and equal. These types of activities are important because it gives students an opportunity to be hands on with their learning and stay engaged. Students were really excited and had a lot of fun!
In the Speech Room, students learn rules for “Very Best Talking” – the first and most important rule is to make “Big Mouth Movements!" Talking fast and mumbled speech “magically disappears” by making exaggerated mouth movements when talking. The articulators (lips, tongue, teeth, cheeks, jaw, mouth) are able to get to the “just right” places to make accurate sounds. Teachers love using the symbol for “Big Mouth Movements” in the classroom as it helps all students speak clearly and be better understood.
