Race to Read 2014

WES students had a visit from 2 Thunder Road racecar drivers! The kids are very excited to participate in Race to Read this year! Go readers!

1st outdoor snack this spring!

Snacks just taste better outside in the sunshine. ☀️

Heritage Projects!

4th graders have been busy researching a country from their heritage. Mark your calendars- our celebration is May 23rd from 1:15-2:30! See you there. 

Circuit Boards

Our culminating electricity project was engineering circuit boards this week. 4th graders needed to engineer the design, wiring, bulbs and test to make sure they were all closed working circuits. They all worked diligently and were independent problem solvers! 

Area and Perimeter

Students measured and taped given rectanglar dimensions. Today we will be finding the area and perimeter of the shapes! 

Ask your student the formula for finding the area and perimeter of rectangular shapes!

4 School Rules

I asked the kids to tell me exactly what they thought the 4 school rules meant. Here is what they said! 

First week back!

We've had such a fantastic first week of school. The kids quickly got back in the groove of school life and are thriving in the classroom. We just published out first piece of writing which was modeled after the book The Best Part of Me. I'll post final drafts soon. For now, check out a few of their photos!

We also discussed what they'd like to be when they grow up! We're dreaming big in 4th grade! I know it's going to be a fantastic year.

Best!

Race to Read

Troy Kingsbury stopped by with a few friends today! Every WES student got to check out the race cars, get autographs, prizes and meet Miss. Vermont! The kids who filled out their entire Race to Read form got to sign not only Troy's hood but Cameron Ouellette's too! Look for them on the Thunder Road track this year! 

And don't forget...if you finish your form, bring it with you and find Troy! He'll be there on June 16th giving away hot dogs and RACE CAR RIDES!!!!!! 

Paper Airplane Contest

Today we popped our day 9 balloon! 4th graders crafted some very detailed paper airplanes then we had a friendly (okay not too friendly) competition! The most common distance was 19 feet. Ciera's soared way past our tape measure and went an estimated 40+ feet! Way to go girl! 

Fine Arts Night

The 3rd, 4th and 5th graders have been practicing for their performance at Fine Arts Night. We hope to see you all tonight at 6pm. Admire artwork from 6:00-6:30 then listen to a great performance, starting at 6:30.

Writing

Students worked hard on the third paragraphs of their mystery stories. They're setting the scene by providing background information and dropping clues. Tomorrow we'll start to investigate and introduce the suspects.
