Recently, Maestro Giron’s students explored the Heart of America–the Midwest! They learned about the 12 states that make up this region of the United States. On a map they identified and labeled each state, then researched the unique economies of each state, and the agricultural and farming practices of each state, as well as the foods and goods they produce. Through this class, these Wildcats gained a deeper understanding of how the Midwest and its states play a role in shaping the United States as a whole.

Thank you to the Woodland families who participated in Parent University on Saturday (1/25/25). It was a great morning of learning and networking, and our speakers did a great job of tailoring the presentations to the families in attendance. We also had volunteers from Warren Township High School spending time with the kids while their parents attended sessions. We have two more events scheduled for this school year. 💚 March 10 - Partnering with School to Improve Student Outcomes (Virtual) 💚 April 5 - Keep Kids Learning Over Summer (In-Person) Watch for additional details on the Parent University website, and in the weekly district newsletter! https://www.dist50.net/page/parent-university

The Wildcats got a jump start on their Winter Break travels. Ms. Sellers’ class participated in a Holidays Around the World activity where students received passports and were assigned a country to explore. They discovered facts about the country’s history, culture, and holiday traditions. After gathering their information, they visited immigration and customs (Ms. Sellers), where they shared what they had learned. Once approved, they received a passport stamp and moved on to the next country, ready to learn more. This exciting, globe-trotting adventure was a fun way to head into Winter Break!
