Latino Literacy in session @WPrimary50 and parents are working hard on their family projects! #LifeintheW @Woodland50news
Primary Wildcats in Mrs. Gaulin's class were hard at work today! They took attendance and decided how they wanted to say good morning to their teacher and paraprofessionals (a hug, high-five, fist-bump, or saying "good morning"). They also studied the days of the week and identified the weather (rainy and cloudy) for the day. Finally, they ended their morning with a dance break!
Dual Language Kindergarten students rotated through neighboring classrooms to participate in Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations with creative crafts and festive games! #LifeintheW
Thank you to all the Woodland families that attended the first Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee (BPAC) Meeting of the school year. This was our biggest turnout yet with 79 people! The parents listened to a presentation from Warren Township Youth and Family Services on the topic of "Parenting with Love". The children worked with Dual Language Woodland teachers, and volunteers from Warren Township High School to create Hispanic Heritage Month crafts. And our friend Tobias Comfort Dog was there too! #LifeintheW

Shining a spotlight on the Parent Mentor Program at Woodland!
Our amazing Parent Mentors recently had the opportunity to share their experience with Community Leaders to highlight how impactful this program is for Woodland Teachers and Students. Thank you to State Senator Mary Edly-Allen, State Representative Joyce Mason, Village of Gurnee Mayor Hood, and Dr. Karner from the Lake County Regional Office of Education for supporting our Parent Mentors.
The Parent Mentor Program is more than just parent volunteers visiting their child's classroom. These are Woodland parents who apply to be part of the program and complete a formal training program before being assigned to a classroom. Parent mentors work four days a week for two hours a day. While in the classroom they work one-on-one with students, lead small group activities, support the classroom teacher, and participate in weekly training and workshops to increase their skills and proficiency. After completing 100 parent mentoring hours, our program participants receive a stipend of $1500.

Today was Primary's first Friday Focus Assembly! Our littlest Wildcats sang and clapped along as their teachers danced, performed a skit, and taught them what it means to ROAR (Be Respectful, Take Ownership, Be Accepting, & Be Ready) like a Woodland Wildcat! 🐯

It's going to be a great day at primary. We are gearing up for our Friday. Focus assemblies!
October is National Principals Month, and Woodland has some of the best around!
Please help us wish Stacey Anderson (Primary), Jared Reardon (Elementary), Tim Sheldon (Intermediate), and Tiffany Drake (Middle), a very happy National Principals Month! Woodland is lucky to have such knowledgeable and caring school leaders, who show up each day ready to support the students and staff in their schools. Not a single district initiative, directive, or goal happens without their hard work. #ThankaPrincipal #LifeintheW
Mrs. Bensch’s kindergarteners write their very first equations after lots of practice modeling numbers with unifix cubes.
