Mrs. Haines' kindergarten reading groups beat the cold weather by taking a trip to the "beach"! They practiced writing letters in sand trays, donning sunglasses as well. They loved practicing the letters and sounds they've been working hard to learn! 😎☀️🏖️
What is your favorite season? The students in Mr. Polander’s 6th Grade ELA were asked this question and then wrote reasons for their selection. They followed the steps in the “Writing Process” and wrote their final copy on a specific color assigned to the season. Winter (blue) was the favorite season among 6th graders. Common reasons were sledding, building snowmen, celebrating holidays, and hunting. The second choice was Fall (orange), then Summer (yellow), and Spring was in fourth place. Most students agreed that they enjoyed having the variety of all four seasons!

The students in Mr. Polander’s 6th Grade ELA were learning about the Great Seal used in the United States and the various symbols that are included in the seal. An example is the olive branch in one of the eagle’s claws symbolizing peace. Each student designed their own family seal explaining how the symbols represented their family. They used the writing process to develop their finished writing.
High School Rocket League will be broadcast on Twitch this afternoon. The match starts at 3:15 pm.

Students in Mr. Bruno's guitar class recently attended a field trip to Waynesburg University. Several members of the music faculty treated the students to a presentation on the history of jazz music, the application of the guitar in a jazz setting, and they played several examples. The students had a wonderful experience and were graciously treated to lunch afterward.
Mrs. Richardson's sixth grade classes teamed up with the Blue Star Mothers group. This is a group of mothers who have active duty or veteran children. They are preparing to ship out care packages to soldiers. Students in 6th grade donated items, drew pictures, wrote thank you notes, and wrote some “Bubble Gum Tales” for the packages. Bubble Gum Tales are a collection of funny stories or memories that students wanted to share with the soldiers. Students enjoyed some bubble gum while writing their stories. When finished students tried to show off their biggest bubble. The students enjoyed writing for this project and many volunteered to write multiple Bubble Gum Tales.
Beware! A group of Frankensteins were seen lurking outside of Mrs. Booze’s 2nd grade classroom! Mrs. Booze’s 2nd grade students applied place value concepts to three digit numbers. As they completed each place value task, they were asked to build one part of their “Frankie.” Once they completed all mathematical tasks, they had a fully built Frankentstein. Learning and fun were had by all!
A huge shoutout to the ladies in the WG Cafeteria! Just look at the healthy options combined with season themed decorations! It's no secret we have the BEST staff!!
Mrs. ❤"s Kindergarten had a very successful first Craft Day! Thank you to the parents and grandparents who volunteered their time, crafts and special snacks!

Stop in Room #206 to see... we are now decorated for Fall and FUN was had by ALL!
