Carol Panzer has been writing articles for the newspaper regarding some of the wonderful things we are doing to teach children to read at LGS. We realize not everyone gets the paper so we are putting the articles on the district webpage. Here is the most recent article.
If you visit reading lesson in a primary classroom, you might see and hear the teacher asking students to listen for rhyming words or to say a word that rhymes with another word. Or you might see and hear the teacher say something like this: Say “cat”. Now say “cat” but change the first sound to the /b/ sound. That is what is meant by “manipulating” sounds and this is absolutely critical for students’ reading skills. Phonemic awareness is actually more complex than those simple examples, but those are starting points.
What can parents of young children do to help build phonemic awareness? Read aloud picture books that use rhymes or look for poetry books or the old stand-by nursery rhymes—yes, like “hickory, dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock”. Sing songs with rhymes or play word games like asking children who have a strong oral language to say a word that rhymes with another word. That can be a challenge for some students. Ask your child if they can say just the first sound of a word or even use the term “word” so that the child begins to understand that concept. Just remember, words that rhyme may not be spelled the same and differences in dialects (the way different regions or individuals pronounce words) may create unusual rhyming patterns—don’t worry, just read, talk, and have FUN with words!!!

Greetings, USD 215 Families:
Thank you for your continued support of our students, staff, and school community. We are excited to share some information with you about a recently approved opportunity for our district to temporarily expand and enhance our supply of available substitute teachers.
Due to the recent and unprecedented shortage of substitute teachers available to schools across Kansas during the COVID-19 pandemic, our Kansas State Board of Education recently and unanimously approved an emergency declaration that allows the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) to issue a Temporary Emergency Authorized License from now through June 1, 2022 to applicants who meet the following criteria:
Must be at least 18 years old
Have a high school diploma
Must undergo and pass the KSDE background check
Must provide verification from a hiring education system’s chief executive office that they are willing to hire that person as a substitute teacher.
Please know that our goals in considering and utilizing this temporary opportunity as a district will continue to prioritize student and educator safety and continuing to do everything we possibly can to not disrupt continuous student learning. We are confident that this opportunity and process will help us and benefit students, and we are excited to work with more people who are interested in serving in this role.
If you have any questions or if you are interested in knowing more about how to serve as a substitute through this Temporary Emergency Authorized License (TEAL), please contact us directly at Rayne Gosch 620-355-6761
Thank you for time,
Cody Calkins
