LURA LIBBY LETTERS

The Kindergarten students at Lura Libby School have been busy building the "world's biggest letters!"

Each week, students from Karen Matthews' and Kathy Mlynarski's classes come to the gym and spend time integrating Physical Education and regular classroom learning.  Physical Education teacher, Lynn Snow, plans and executes these lessons.

During October, the kids worked together to build giant alphabet letters with their bodies.  This activity matches several of the Maine Learning Results.  See below.
