Good evening,
Here is a message from Woodland D50 about the status of schools for Jan. 21, 2025. Woodland will be open for normal operations. https://secure.smore.com/n/fyw4ph
Thank you.
These Wildcats are on the move! This week, our littlest Wildcats took part in the Bike Unit at Primary. With the support of their awesome teachers, the students began by balancing on bikes without pedals and using their feet to push themselves forward. Once they got the hang of that, they graduated to bikes with pedals. It's amazing how quickly they learned and were able to speed around the gym!

Ms O'Neil's class had a mystery reader today that is very popular at Primary...it was Officer Hansen!
Mrs. Villalba’s class had a fun-filled morning! They worked as a group to go over day of the week, the current season, the weather, and the number of students in class today. Then, it was time for craft activities! One group created sparkling snowflakes using glitter, cotton balls, and pipe cleaners, while the other group got messy making slime. Afterward, they settled in for some independent and group reading time. These little Wildcats certainly made the most of their busy, productive morning! #LifeintheW

A group of teachers at Woodland Primary brought the story of El mitón to life on the library stage. The story is about a child losing a mitten in the snow and woodland creatures finding the mitten and crawling inside. The teachers acted it out while the narrator read the story and the kids had so much fun! 💚🐇🐁
