Third grade students are finishing up module 1 of their Wit & Wisdom reading program by creating Didactic Wall Panels. Students learned about the sea in this module including exciting facts about the great white shark and the giant squid. They learned that Didactic Wall Panels are hung in museums, zoos, and aquariums to give a picture and information about what guests are viewing. Students chose either the shark or giant squid and wrote a two paragraph essay describing why they are important and how scientists study them. Students also drew a picture and included a caption. The Didactic Wall Panels will be hung in the hall for everyone to view.

Two Student council members, Lila Bell and Hunter Smith, have an important message to share.

With cold weather here, please be sure your child comes to school with appropriate clothing for outdoor recess. When we get measurable snow, students are able to play in the snow during recess. However, they must have snow boots, snow pants, waterproof gloves and winter jackets in order to play in the snow. Please be sure to label your child's outerwear!

February kicks off our Kids Heart Challenge for the American Heart Association! Information will be emailed out this week to guardians by Miss Roberts about how to register your child online. Last year as a district we raised over $5,000 and I’d love to beat that this year! Any questions please email eroberts@wbridgewater.com

Registration for U8 Spring Soccer is now open! All registrations go to a wait list to start. Cost will be $60 per player.

Our SEL rolled out a positive behavior reward system earlier this year, working with all of our staff to distribute “Pawsitivity Points” to students to encourage and support them in making good choices and being mindful of their surroundings and actions. Boy, are our wildcats loving it! Kiddos are saving up the paw points they earn to spend at our new school store. The items in the store are a hit. Have you seen the posters, rainbow pens, drawstring bags, and vinyl stickers they have earned? There are many other items to choose from too. Many parents have reached out asking if and how they can support our efforts, and we are grateful for their collaboration. We have put together a wish list on Amazon for items to keep our store stocked and interesting. If you are willing and able, we welcome any and all donations.

We are also in need of volunteers to help us cut out more Pawsitivity Points! If you would like a stack of papers to cut out, please contact Mrs. Enos at jenos@wbridgewater.com
