Ms. Moy’s class had so much fun launching paper fireworks in class today!
These students built paper fireworks, then ran several testes to see how far they could launch them. The farthest one of the fireworks launched was 77 inches!!
Great work, Wildcats!
Friendship bracelets + Fourth of July Jeopardy = WSA Fun! 🐯💚☀️

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!

After finishing up an art project, Ms. Kuruvilla's class finished the day strong with typing challenges and Kahoot! quizzes.

Great job, Wildcats 🤩
Wildcats are cleared for take off!
