We are pleased to announce that we had 42 students exhibiting art in this year’s Carolina Classic Fair student exhibit. We are so proud of our student artists and Art Teacher, Ms. Sledge. This exhibit earned 3 ribbons as well.

As their culminating project for Unit 1 in Wonders, DLI 2nd grade teacher, Ms. Yepes, and ESL Teacher, Mrs. Ochoa, led students through a Readers’ Theater with puppets for fluency practice, review of overall story structure, and understanding how characters respond to events. Today, they performed in Spanish; tomorrow they will perform in English.

PTA Meeting Thursday, September 5 6:00p.m.

Essential Question: How does experiencing nature change the way you think of it? Ms. Cash and her 5th graders compared their experience to the late president Roosevelt’s experiences they discovered he had within the text, “Camping with the President”. They concluded with reading his autobiography & connected their vocabulary to the items found in nature (debris, naturalist, encounter, & spectacular). #learningandgrowinginharmony

Ms. Salinas and her third graders add a little kinesthetic learning and creative movement to their vocabulary review as a ‘before reading’ strategy. #learningandgrowinginharmony #wsfcs #studentengagement
