Ms. Breezee’s class had a great day at Wildcat Summer Adventures working on their reading, writing, and drawing skills!

Math + Games = A Great Day in Ms. Bolinches’ Class!

Ms. Monaco’s class spent time working on a kindness project! Students created handmade bookmarks filled with positive messages and creative designs. They then shared them with friends, family members, and others in their lives to help spread joy and brighten someone’s day. It was a simple, everyday way to practice kindness!

From fishing for math facts, to making Skittle rainbows, to flashlight reading during Camping Week, Ms Higgins’ Wildcats had a fun and learning-filled Wildcat Summer! #lifeinthew #wildcatsummeradventrues

Our summer school students learned about hurricanes this week and put their engineering skills to the test by building hurricane-resistant houses. They then tested them with wind and water simulations. These future engineers weathered the storm with creativity and fun! #lifeinthew

HAPPY NEW YEAR: July 1 is the official start of the 2025-2026 school year! While school doesn't start until August, the fiscal year runs July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026. As we embark on the new year together, we want to introduce you to new leaders joining our team, or stepping into a new role. Please join us in showing these new Wildcats a warm Woodland welcome.

Is it Mr. Tangney’s sense of humor, cool classroom technology, or do these students just have an enthusiastic passion for math? We were surprised to see students literally jumping out of their seats and begging to do math problems on the board! 😎#WildcatSummerAdventures #LifeintheW

Would you rather go bowing or go running? Would you rather write poetry or write code? Would you rather work with legos or play eSports? These are a few of the questions we asked our future 6th grade Wildcats at 6th Grade Orientation at Middle. Students and their families stopped by WMS to get a first look at what it means to be a middle schooler at Woodland. Mrs. Drake, Mr. Taterka, Ms. Marrero, and Ms. Hristorafos welcomed families and shared important information about what to expect in the upcoming school year. Afterward, students toured the building with our team, checking out classrooms, seeing their future lockers, and getting a feel for just how big WMS really is. It was a fun and informative day that helped our students feel more comfortable and excited for this next big step in their journey!

The Woodland D50 Board of Education will be meeting tonight if you want to follow along! The meeting starts at 6 p.m., but the first item on the agenda is a closed session. The public meeting will begin immediately following the closed session at approximately 7 p.m. Woodland Live: https://www.youtube.com/@woodlandlive9671 Agenda: https://5il.co/3k861

Summer Adventure Wildcats read the story "Only One You" to celebrate how our differences make us special and our connections make us strong. Then, they brought the story to life by painting their own special rocks - each one as unique as they are! #LifeInTheW

These are the drones you’re looking for! 🤖⭐ Our Wildcats teamed up to pilot their mini starships (drone) through an obstacle course, showing off their skills in teamwork and navigation! #lifeinthew #wildcatsummeradventures

Wildcat Summer Adventures are bringing our students together! Ms. Horques’ 4th grade Dual Language class recently visited Ms. Matienzo’s Kindergarten classroom to share stories with our youngest Wildcats. The 4th graders were thrilled to be storytellers, and the Kindergarteners loved spending time with the big kids! #lifeinthew #wildcatsummeradventures

Volcanoes exploded in the summer school classroom— along with curiosity and fun! Our students learned all about volcanoes through hands-on creation and experimentation. #LifeintheW

Wildcat Summer Adventures: Boat Float Challenge! 🛥 Our Wildcats got creative and put their engineering skills to the test by building boats out of tin foil, popsicle sticks, and pipe cleaners. The catch? They needed to be tested to see if they could float... while holding ten pennies! #LifeintheW #wildcatsummeradventures

Beach theme at Wildcat Summer Adventures! Students explored sand, water, and learned words like olas, marea, mar, playa, cubeta y pala, protector solar (waves, tide, beach, pail and shovel, and sunscreen). 😎 #LifeintheW
