We explored wetlands with a crumpled paper model—watching how water flows and where it pools. A hands-on way to understand how wetlands protect and filter our environment! @TheLarkspurMS

We built the world’s simplest motor to explore the power of electromagnetism! A fun way to see the difference between motors and generators—learning in motion ⚡️🔋@TheLarkspurMS @ScottJordanITS

Our garden club is planting love one bloom at a time! This Mother's Day, we're gifting flowers to add a little sunshine to her day! 🌹🌸🌺 ☀️@TheLarkspurMS #MothersDay2025

Hair-raising science at LKMS! Our Lions got charged up learning about static electricity with the Van de Graaff. Hair-raising science at LKMS! It was electrifying ⚡️Thank you Mr. Jordan! @TheLarkspurMS @LionLeaderSJ @ScottJordanITS

Larkspur Lions using AVID strategies- Frayer Models and a card sort to master conductors, insulators, and semiconductors. Critical thinking + collaboration = success! #AVIDInAction #LMSscience @TheLarkspurMS

Exploring conductivity with a hands-on activity testing conductors & insulators! Then we marked the text to deepen our understanding—learning the AVID way: explore, read, connect! #AVIDStrategy #HandsOnScience @TheLarkspurMS @vbschools

6th graders organizing their thoughts, recalling prior knowledge, and making connections as they explore water’s unique properties! 💧 Using writing & inquiry to deepen understanding. #AVID #WICOR @TheLarkspurMS

💦🧊 Diving into density! Using the 10-2-2 #AVID strategy, they’re collaborating, marking the text, and discovering why ice floats on water. @TheLarkspurMS

6th graders investigating how changing potential energy makes an action figure jump higher on a teeter board! Exploring the Law of Conservation of Energy in action! #STEM #PotentialEnergy #ConservationOfEnergy #6thGradeScience @TheLarkspurMS

💚 Ginger helped to spread some St. Paddy’s Day cheer! Dressed in her cutest outfit to deliver sweets and treats to the 6th grade teachers! 🍀🎉 #StPatricksDay #BeardedDragon #TeacherAppreciation @TheLarkspurMS

🧡📐 When math meets creativity! One of our amazing students took a math problem and turned it into a real-world project — crocheting a cozy scarf for our classroom bearded dragon Ginger! We love seeing learning come to life! @TheLarkspurMS

Our middle school Cricut Club wrapped up the quarter in style — literally! 👕✨ Students designed and created their own custom t-shirts, and they turned out amazing! @PernitesLibrary @TheLarkspurMS

Shoutout to Santa’s helpers spreading holiday cheer with hot chocolate and coffee for our amazing teachers! ☕🎄 You’re keeping us fueled and ready to finish the year strong. @drjwashVB @bri___leads @TheLarkspurMS

After weeks of waiting, our sunflower finally bloomed to brighten up this rainy day! 🌻🌧️ A little sunshine in our 6th-grade classroom! #ClassroomBloom #SunflowerMagic @TheLarkspurMS

Today in 6th grade science, we explored solubility! 🍋 We made lemonade, tested how food coloring mixes, and compared how salt dissolves in hot vs. cold water. Science tastes sweet! #Solubility #ScienceFun #6thGradeExploration @TheLarkspurMS

Ginger and I are showing our school spirit in style for Hat & Scarf Day! 🧣🧢#SpiritMonth #BeardedDragonStyle #HatAndScarfDay @TheLarkspurMS

🎨💡Starting our Changes in Matter Unit with a Philosophical Chairs debate AND tie-dying fun! Exploring physical and chemical changes and creating wearable art! 💜💛 @TheLarkspurMS 📝 #AVIDLife @AVID4College
