Mrs. Herbst’s class worked on a tasty math project in class! These 4th grade Wildcats practiced fractions with “pizzas” by folding the crust into eighths, then choosing topping combinations to create their pizzas. This fun and creative project allowed students to work on adding unit fractions and multiply fractions by whole numbers. Too bad they couldn't eat these pizzas afterward… 🍕💚 A special thank you to Jimano's Pizzeria in Gurnee for donating the pizza boxes!

Mrs. Samulak’s 4th grade class conducted an electric experiment today! These students explored and learned about circuits and conductors in class, and worked in groups using a D-cell battery, wires, and springs to light up two lightbulbs. After observing the bulbs, the students noticed that they were dim when powered by just one battery. They then tried the same experiment using two batteries and found that using two allowed each bulb to shine brighter and more powerfully!

Here are a few more photos from International Night at Woodland Middle School on Friday night. We had a blast! Event attendees had the opportunity to travel around the world just by taking a trip around the WMS cafeteria. There was so much to learn about the different counties, and plenty of awesome cuisine from around the world to sample. Thank you to our talented performers for showing us traditional dances and music from your culture, and thank you to all the families who hosted a table at the event! #LifeintheW More photos on Instagram and Facebook!

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.

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
