Woodland School District 50

Friendship bracelets + Fourth of July Jeopardy = WSA Fun! 🐯💚☀️

Summer Adventures - Dual Language in the W! A reading activity and discussion in Spanish with Ms. Rubio, and a math game in English with Ms. Raths. #LifeintheW

Ms. Fontana's class at STEM with Ms. Wellman & Ms. Bolin!
Challenge: explore the forces of motion. Learn about potential energy, momentum, speed, force, and more as you combine these elements together to create your own ball runs!

How much are we enjoying Summer in the W? THIS MUCH!

(Students are inside today for the heat wave 🥵. This picture was taken on a bright sunny day earlier in June!)

Students in Ms. Higgins’s class designed boats with the goals of being able to float and bear weight. They then brought their designs to life with foil. The final step was to test their creations to see how well they could float and how much weight they could hold.
The winning boat held 53 coins!!! With the runner up holding 47!
Great work, Wildcats!

Scenes from a summer classroom! For Ms. Weece and her students, it's all about teamwork and accomplishing challenges together. 💪 Plus a few photos from when they went to Mr. Roth's class for music and learned a new popcorn song with the parachute! #LifeintheW

Sneak Peek! This summer, Wildcats are painting patriotic t-shirts to celebrate America's 250th Celebration. Once the paint is dry, we will wear our shirts to school and share photos of the finished product. Ms. Daniels and her students had a great time getting their hands full of paint 🤩 #LifeintheW

After finishing up an art project, Ms. Kuruvilla's class finished the day strong with typing challenges and Kahoot! quizzes. Despite the rainy weather, the students were cheering on their classmates and having fun seeing how fast they could answer the math questions. Rahi was in the lead as they entered the final round! Great job, Wildcats 🤩

Wildcats are cleared for take off!
During STEM class, students took learning to new heights with drones! During this activity students worked as teams to learn the fundamentals of drone technology and flight, while maneuvering their drones through obstacle courses.

Scenes from a Summer Classroom!
Ms. Monaco's students have enjoyed some rainy day reading time, STEAM projects that have them building and creating with friends, and making inspirational book marks to spread kindness to others.
Looks like you are having so much fun together! #LifeintheW

New this summer - Adventures in Agriculture! Ms. Weiland and Ms. Decker have their students outside and digging in dirt this summer. In these photos the students are planting beans and talking about what plants need to grow. #LifeintheW

REMINDER: The district is closed on Friday, June 19. No student attendance for Wildcat Summer Adventures & Extended School Year! #LifeintheW

SLIME TIME! The looks on their faces when Ms. Fontana said to take the top of the bottle and dump all the glue on their desk - priceless! These Wildcats had way too much fun making a big old summer mess 🤣

A huge shoutout to our Summer Tech Volunteers!
Nearly 20 volunteers will be joining us throughout the summer, so not everyone is pictured. Here are just a few action shots from this week. We appreciate you giving up some of your summer break to help us unbox, enroll, and update Chromebooks, test chargers, organize inventory, build charging carts, and so much more. Many hands make light work 💪

Everyone is all smiles when Officer Hansen stops by to say hi!
🤩👋

Creativity in the W!
Ms. Jakielski and Mr. Giron’s students are working together to create an amazing banner celebrating our country.
They spent time learning about the 50 states that make up the U.S. and adding unique details about the states to this creative banner.
We can't wait to see the finished masterpiece!

Summer Fun in the W!
The 6th & 7th grade students in Ms. Rumi, Ms. Gabler, and Ms. Abedrabo's classes created solar ovens and used them to make s'mores. These delicious treats were enjoyed on a sunny day last week - not on this rainy gloomy day today.

Dynamic Dual Duo!
While Ms. Rosenblum played a fun MATH game in English with half of the students, Mr. Ocampo played a SCIENCE trivia game in Spanish with the other half. Summer learning disguised as fun 🤩

Summer STEM in the W!
This summer, Ms. Bolin & Ms. Wellman are offering STEM as a Specials class for Wildcat Summer Adventures and Extended School Year. Ms. Vivas & Ms. Nieto's classes had so much fun building a model by following visual diagram directions. #LifeintheW
