Today we celebrated big with a PBIS pep rally. We recognized our Students of the Week, our Math Masters, and our Readers are Leaders. Way to represent WES!
Students in Mrs. Shaske's 3rd grade class created special ornaments from old crayons at their holiday celebration!
Carter Hickman and Emory Smith are 5th graders in Mrs. Wheater’s gifted class at Woodbine Elementary. Over the past 10 weeks, they have participated in The Stock Market Game, sponsored by the Georgia Council on Economic Education. The class learned about how the stock market works, from identifying companies that are publicly traded, to paying attention to current events to see how that effects the economy, to watching for trends to see what stocks to invest in and which ones to sell. Their team, the Kit Kats won first place in Georgia’s First Congressional District – made up of over 150 elementary teams. These boys are definitely going places!

'Tis the season for Crab Soccer!! Our WES Crawfish have been learning soccer skills in P.E. (dribbling, trapping, passing, kicking & ball control) and now get to experience a modified soccer game called: "Crab Soccer."
They're doing a great job using teamwork & sportsmanship in this new game after also learning that "winning isn't everything."⚽️👏🏻🤩
Students in Mrs. Foldy and Mrs. Price’s classes took a magical trip into the world of the Macy’s Day Parade as they dove into the pages of "Balloons Over Broadway".

Today in Mrs. Stell's 2nd grade class, we had an exciting time diving into the world of science! 🎉 We explored simple machines and learned all about how force and motion work. It's amazing to see the kids' faces light up with curiosity and excitement!
Thank you to the Knights of Columbus for their generous donation of coats for our students!
In Mrs. Stell's 2nd grade class, the kiddos are diving into the world of simple machines! So, we whipped up our very own 'machine'—a super cool ramp! The students got to work, using straws to send ping pong balls zooming up the slope like mini rocket scientists!
Students in Mrs. Davis's 5th grade ELA made personal pizzas as part of a creative writing lesson. The students are writing about their "perfect slice" of pizza, featuring vivid descriptions, sensory language, and exciting adjectives.

WES has been working hard in P.E. on our PBIS expectations; being Respectful, Responsible, Safe & also Kind, while learning skills being taught. Classes earn a team football on our "Super Bowl Classes" wall if the majority are meeting expectations. At the end of each 9 weeks, their reward is a free choice day full of physical activity stations to enjoy. 😎
Guess who our Super Bowl classes are for the 1st 9 weeks!? ALL CLASSES!!! 👏🏻🎊🙌🏻 WooHoo!!
A favorite station has been...our pretend "Hay rides" (scooters). SO PROUD of ALL our students- love watching them enjoy their reward!

Earlier this week, Mrs. Jones’ 3rd Grade ELA class read Why is the Statue of Liberty Green?
Her students learned that the Statue of Liberty is made of copper and was originally the color brown. However, the Statue of Liberty is now Green due to wind, rain, and other natural elements.
Today, her student turned brown, copper pennies to the color green to match Lady Liberty.
