What's Happening at Lyseth

 

LYSETH GEOGRAPHY BEE RESULTS

The Lyseth Geography Bee was held on January 30, 2020. All 4th and 5th graders completed the qualifying test, and 16 students competed in the school bee.  Students answered questions about U.S. states, continents, oceans, physical geography, odd geographical facts, and world countries. 

After completing many rounds of questions, the 3rd place finisher was Devon D-F (4th grade) and the 2nd place finisher was Clair S (4th grade.)

And the winner of the Lyseth Geography Bee was Sebastian M-F, a 5th grader.  Sebastian has taken the qualifying test for the state Geography Bee, which will be held on March 27, 2020.

Congratulations Sebastian!  And good luck with qualifying for the state bee!

Starting Strong Literacy Program

Lyseth is pleased to be a part of the United Way Reading Strong Program where we partner community volunteers with our first graders to support them with the development of their literacy skills. All of our volunteers are trained by Karen Stockmann, our Literacy Specialist/Coach, on how to encourage, motivate, and support young readers. The volunteers meet twice a week for 25-30 minutes with first graders and the outcome has been truly amazing! We have 12 volunteers and they have so enjoyed reading with our 1st grade students that most have committed to staying an extra 30 minutes to support our 2nd graders with math! The volunteers are a unique mixture of retired professionals.

We are so fortunate to have these volunteers as part of our Lyseth family!
