WES Field of Dreams is hosting a hat day on Thursday, March 30 for $1!
Learning can be messy but so much fun! Students in Miss Rawlings' class had a great time creating quadrilaterals in shaving cream yesterday!
Miss Rawlings' fourth-grade class solved the mystery of whoDunnit while working on geometric vocabulary at the same time. The kids learned characteristics about each "suspect" and found clues to determine who committed the crime in her classroom!
2nd grade families: We are just TWO WEEKS away from our music program! The students have been working super hard for this and are so excited to show it to you! Doors open at 6:30pm. No ticket needed. Program will begin promptly at 7:00pm. Hope to see you there!

As part of a St. Patrick's Day celebration, students in Miss Stage's second-grade class used their design skills to build leprechaun traps with supplies from the makerspace or creation station. They designed a plan, created a prototype, tested it, and made changes for improvement. The creativity was amazing!
Mrs. Zombek's first-graders have been busy with an 'EGG’-cellent lesson about chicks. They studied the stages of development, put eggs in an incubator, and created a weekly egg check log to observe and document what happens until the big day arrives! Hatching Day! How exciting!
Addition Rainbow STEM challenge! Students in Mrs. Stonerock's kindergarten class earned a Fruit Loop for every math question they answered correctly. They were only given a pipe cleaner and play dough to construct a colorful rainbow, using only a picture to guide them.

WES Student Council has been working on a very special project! Thanks to a generous donation of fabric and the sewing expertise of our own Tammy Cline, Student Council members have assembled 50 bead bags to send to children’s hospitals around the nation! Through the company, Beads of Courage, the beautiful bags are given to contain the beads that have been received throughout a cancer patient’s treatment. Each bead signifies a moment of strength and courage. Student Council members helped to sew, iron, and assemble all of these bags.
