The Learning Commons @ Lakeshore Elementary School


 
Kassandra Lara-Acherman and Sandra Longhofer are illuminating learners at Lakeshore Elementary!

Wow!  Is all I can say!
I was exhausted after my 50 minute visit to the Lakeshore Learning Commons.
It was amazing!  The 50 second grade kids were actively engaged and learning independently with lots of hands on makerspace activities.  Kassandra and Sandra have done a great deal of front loading  in the last week to have such an organized program on September 2!
 

 
  I'm so excited to have them present at our November District Library Meeting.
Hats off to you two!

 
 
Welcome to the Lakeshore Learning Commons
 
Sandra will be helping 4th and 5th make Robots next week during library time at the Learning Commons
