🧡💃 Dancing Through the Decades! 🕺🧡
Our 7th graders are bringing history to life in ELA by learning dances from different decades, and this group of guys absolutely nailed their 80s moves this morning!
It was great to see the effort, energy, and willingness to step outside their comfort zones to learn a classic dance. Don’t be surprised if you see them owning the dance floor at the next school dance or wedding!
Shoutout to Mrs. Bair for making learning fun and memorable! 🧡🐾

🌈🔧 STEM + Skittles = Sweet Success!
Mrs. Shivley's 4th graders had a blast this week thanks to a visit from Ohio Hi-Point Career Center! 🍬🛠️ Students put their engineering skills to the test by building Skittles towers, a colorful and creative challenge that introduced basic STEM principles in the sweetest way possible! It was hands-on learning at its finest—full of teamwork, problem-solving, and of course... a few extra Skittles for “quality control.” 😄👏 Thank you to Ohio Hi-Point (and our very own Naaman Stidham) for bringing this fun experience to our students! We love seeing future engineers in action! 🧡 #SkittlesTowers #STEMFun #FutureEngineers #WLSProud #OhioHiPoint #SweetLearning

🧡📐 Math + Creativity = The Perfect Combo! 📐🧡
After a busy week of state testing, our 7th grade math students took some time to unwind and get creative, all while reviewing key geometry concepts!
Students designed their own iPhone-style backgrounds and even sketched out their dream summer vacation plans (yes… we saw a few beaches! 🏖️), all while incorporating the geometry skills they’ve been learning throughout the year.
It was a fun and engaging way to decompress, reinforce learning, and get ready for their upcoming end-of-year capstone project!
Great work, 7th graders. Learning never looked so fun! 🧡🐾
