Mrs. Ehlers' third graders kicked off their measurement unit today and incorporating fractions by measuring to the nearest 1/4 inch. Students measured their own height and discussed how to create a line plot using our data. #celebrate379




Mrs. Hughes teaches a Culinary Essentials class at WHS. It is a pilot program this year, with the goal being for it to be added under the Restaurant and Event Management Career Technical Education pathway. Today, her students were learning how to make frosting, fill a piping bag, and decorate cupcakes. Even if students are not planning to go into a culinary arts field, it is a life skill they are learning!







To celebrate the 120th day of school, Mrs. Judy's first graders wrote a sentence saying what they would do with $120. Just some of the great answers they wrote:
"I would buy a Lamborghini"
"I would give it to the poor people"
"I would sell it for more money"

Mr. Couch's Cabinet Making class is part of the Construction & Design pathway through Career Technical Education. It focuses on preparing students for professions involved in designing, planning, managing, and executing projects in the built environment. There are a lot of impressive projects being created at WHS! #celebrate379
