Art in the Library
All Lake Forest Park Elementary School students recently participated in discussing and appreciating artwork from masters of Northwest Art including Dale Chihuly and Jacob Lawrence. Lake Forest Park PTA Art Docent Lead Anthea Finnel organized art docents to lead the discussions with students about each piece and an art project related to one of the sculptures. Half of the school library has also been transformed into an art museum for students, families, and staff to enjoy throughout the month of May.
Thank you to the art docents, Anthea, PTA, and Junior League of Seattle for bringing this fantastic enrichment opportunity to the Lake Forest Park Elementary School community!

Fourth Grade Haikus About Books
For April's Poetry Month, fourth graders wrote and published haiku poems about favorite books. They were shared in the library and inspired our readers to seek new books.
Third Grade Favorites Found In Books
Over the week of 1/31-2/3, third graders brainstormed favorite books, animals, foods, and topics that can be found in books. Students learned about each other's favorite topics and books. Now, it's time to find some books to check out to learn more.

K-1 Students Enjoy Library Books To Build Social-Emotional Learning
Washington State has K-12 Benchmarks for Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). To teach to these benchmarks, I applied for a grant from the Sno-King Retirees Association for read-aloud picture books that are recommended for teaching Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skills to kindergarten and first grade students. Over the past weeks in library, students have been enjoying the books and completing activities to build their social-emotional learning. Below are some photos featuring some of our students with the books. Thank you, Sno-King Retirees Association!
Ozobots In Library
In the library, second grade students worked collaboratively to solve problems navigating Ozobots.
Examining Shells, Rocks and Fossils In Library
K-1 students explored a shell collection given to Mr. Kleyn by a woman who collected them over an 80 year period. Students used jeweler's loupes to zoom in on the shells and sketch observations. 2nd graders used the jeweler's loupes to examine a rock and fossil collection donated to Mr. Kleyn by a former student.
