LCIS FASO 4/22/22
Hello LCIS Families!
Happy Earth Day Everyone! Spring was fully in the air this week and students enjoyed playing outdoors at recess. We are all looking forward to more spring sunshine and outdoor activities!
Students celebrated Earth Day yesterday at LCIS. Ms. Good will begin an art upcycling project using things found in recycle bins. Some of the art students below are holding an upcycled fish. In PE class, students picked up trash outside at the community park, on the playground and on the Mineral Belt Trail. Mrs Cairns’s music classes were busy preparing for the upcoming performances, but the choir students were able to enjoy some sunshine on their way to rehearsal at the high school.
The majority of our students have completed the CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) assessments. This coming week students in 5th grade will take the Science assessments and any students who missed assessments over the past two weeks will have time to make these up. If your student is taking a test next week, please help them prepare by ensuring their chromebook is charged so that they are ready for the online assessment.
The testing dates are in the table below.
DATES | CMAS ASSESSMENT |
April 25-29 | Science grade 5 |
We hope you are able to attend the Joy of Reading Family Literacy Night next Thursday! This event will take place at our beautiful new building, Lake County Elementary School, from 6-7:30 p.m. and students in grades K-6 and their families are invited. There is a flier below with more details.

LCIS is excited to announce that we will be hosting our first Celebration of Learning since before the start of the pandemic. This celebration will be held on May 4th from 6:00-7:15 pm. We will begin the evening with a community meeting in our gym where we will also honor the students of the month for the habit of perseverance.

ACADEMIC UPDATE
6th grade is wrapped up math CMAS this week and we are so proud of the hard work and perseverance the students have shown. In math, we are continuing our work in geometry, focusing now on volume. In ELA and Social Studies, we are combining our skills and knowledge to craft fictional letters from the prospective of a new young immigrant written to family or friends in the home country. Next week, the 6th grade crews (one crew per day) are headed to COBS to spend a day doing team building and having fun outdoors.
