Mrs. Bailey did a math lesson with her students yesterday that had a focus of having students be able to order objects, as well as compare objects, based on an object’s length. Students used flowers from her own garden to help keep engagement high! Little did they know that they were making a bouquet for Sheena Aber, a para educator in her room ❤️ Awesome idea Mrs. Bailey!!!

We are grateful for our dedicated and amazing WLCSD staff members! Thank you for always being there for our students and guiding them to academic achievement! #WLComets #TeacherAppreciationWeek2024 https://youtu.be/lDT4HIWzHxA?feature=shared

Middle school students started their day sprucing up the courtyard. Students from Ms. Rex's, Mr. Schultze's and Mr.Beal's classes joined forces to plant flowers.and do some spring cleaning. The flowers are from the FFA plant sale.

Mrs. Madsen's 6th Grade Science Enrichment class finally completed their March/April Madness Bridge Building Competition! Groups built 8 different bridges from K'Nex and engaged them in a head-to-head load bearing competition. The winning bridge type was the Short Span Beam which held 17,655 grams of steel weights! That's 38.9 lbs! Thanks to Mr. Gross and Wertzbaugher Services for the extra steel needed to fully test these bridges. Groups were then assigned one of the four weakest bridges and had to re-engineer them to hold more weight, using what they had learned about bridge supports. So much STEM FUN!

6th graders learned about an Inca counting tool called a Quipu. Students then had the opportunity to make their own Quipus about their lives.

On Friday students read about 5 de Mayo in Spanish World Cultures and Spanish Literacy during Ms.Fernandez’s 7th grade classes. They learned that 5 de Mayo is not Mexico‘s Independence Day, it is to celebrate Mexican Culture. Some enjoyed chips and salsa from Puebla Restaurant!
