We are honoring Hispanic Heritage Month. During library sessions with Ms. Worley at WTS, Kindergarten students enjoyed the book "All Around Us" by Adrian Garcia. They created their own quilts depicting the things they cherish in their families and lives. In 1st and 2nd Grade, students listened to "Pepe and the Parade" by Tracey Kyle, creating floats that symbolize their families and interests. Meanwhile, in 3rd and 4th Grade, students engaged with "How Alma Got Her Name" by Juan Martinez, sharing their favorite aspects of their names and the reasons behind them.

Today in Mrs Smith 5th grade science at WTS, students created a carbon dioxide filled balloon by combining baking soda and vinegar. Students were tasked with looking for clues to decide if the reaction was a chemical or physical change.

Students in Mrs. Gore’s 5th grade math class at WTS worked in small groups to solve real-world math problems involving volume. They collaborated to calculate the volume of various 3D shapes, sharing strategies and comparing solutions to deepen their understanding

It has been a busy week in Mrs. Darrow and Ms. Cotton’s class. This week we read a story Chrysanthemum and compared the number of letters in our names to Chrysanthemum. We also colored our name flower and described ourselves using one word. Today was Johnny Appleseed’s birthday. We have been talking about apples all week and had an apple tasting with peanut butter and caramel. We took a survey to see which apple was their favorite and wrote about it.

Pre-K Went on a Bear Hunt and we found him and he brought us a snack!

Today pre-K at WTS went on a bear parade with their favorite stuffed animal and the wagon that they made as a home project. While we were on the parade we learned where the office was and met the office staff. We learned where kindergarten through second grade was and we learned where the gym was. We were cheered on by kindergarten through second grade students which really made us feel special. Great self esteem and community building experience.

To keep families informed, updates will be shared through the following channels:

District and school Facebook pages

As a general rule, we will move to remote instruction on days when weather prevents us from being in person.
We encourage you to check these platforms regularly so you receive the most up-to-date information.
