Finding Inspiration in Nature! ✍️
Innovative instruction has been happening all week at LHS! On Wednesday, Dr. D’s English II students took their learning outside and into the Courtyard as they explored the art of haiku! Surrounded by nature, students observed the sights, sounds, and details around them and used their surroundings as inspiration to write their own nature-themed haikus.
What a creative way to combine poetry, observation, and the beauty of the outdoors! 💚💛

🌱 Following Carbon’s Journey! 🔬
Mrs. Branch’s Biology students brought the carbon cycle to life with an interactive classroom activity! Students took on the role of carbon molecules and traveled through different stages of the carbon cycle, including plants, animals, the atmosphere, oceans, and more. At each stop, students rolled dice to determine their carbon molecule’s fate and next step in the cycle, experiencing firsthand the many different pathways carbon can take through Earth’s systems. Students recorded each stop along the way to track their carbon molecule’s unique journey.
What an engaging way to turn the carbon cycle into a hands-on learning experience! 💚💛

Mrs. Williamson’s Advanced Composition students recently reflected on the events of September 11, 2001, through a research-based creative writing activity. Students explored the history and experiences surrounding 9/11 before writing a first-person diary entry imagining what it may have been like to have witnessed that historic, tragic day. Through the activity, students strengthened their research and creative writing skills while also considering the events of 9/11 from the perspectives of those who experienced them.

Over the past few weeks, LHS English classes have visited the library for an interactive library orientation. Students learned about the resources and services available to them, explored the library’s collection, and discovered how to use the online catalog and other research tools.
Students then put their knowledge to the test with a library scavenger hunt that challenged them to navigate the library, locate books and resources, and become more comfortable using the space independently. Through these orientations, students are gaining the skills they need to make the library a valuable resource throughout their time at LHS.
