Laing Middle School and Lucia Wallace Elementary in Algona











We made a brief stop at Otto B. Lain Middle School in Algona on Thursday, May 11th. We visited with the building administrator as he gave us a quick tour of the building. The care that takes place in keeping this older building in great shape is remarkable. There are terrific things going on inside here to challenge students!

The last classroom visit before departing Algona schools was to Chris Van Deventer's 5th grade Talented and Gifted class at Lucia Wallace Elementary. Chris had the students explain to me the value of compacting in Math class as they ready for Middle School next year.

In addition to serving on the Algona EA Executive Board, Chris serves as a member of the ISEA state-wide committee on "Building a Better Teaching and Learning Environment". Thanks, Chris for your leadership in and out of the classroom!
