🎵 Music Pre-K/K students began learning about instruments and instrument families in music class last week. To help them better understand how instruments make sound and what they sound like, students had the opportunity to take turns playing the guitar, ukulele, flute, and maracas to explore how they work! They really enjoyed being musicians!

We will be practicing safety drills the remainder of this week and next week
This week, 5th grade had fun in Music playing Boomwhacker Chance. After the game, each group wrote a song and then performed it for the class to wrap up their composition unit! The kids really let their creativity shine!

🍽March is National Nutrition Month🍽 Everyone is so busy, but you can still eat healthy, even "on the run." 🚗 Here are tips on how to eat healthier when "eating out": 1. Bring healthy snacks along in the car that the kids have picked out and prepared -- cut up vegetables, whole fruit, nuts or sunflower seeds, and protein bars. 🥕🍏 2. Think ahead and plan where you will eat. Pick a place with healthier options. 3. Choose grilled over breaded, baked or broiled over fried. 4. Order the child size portion or an appetizer instead of a main course. 5. Split dessert or order fresh fruit with whipped cream for dessert.🍓 6. Hold up on eating bread or chips before your meal is served. 📣Remember, eating healthier leads to a happier and healthy YOU!☺
The Leprechaun painted the halls green here at WCS today!
It's that time of year! Pre-K Registration packets are available by calling the main office or stopping in! Registration will be April 23rd with screening being held on May 21st.
The weather cooperated JUST long enough for our Prek to really explore their light unit!
Today our Cafe Blue Jay served Lasagna with fresh parsley from Nature Club's hydroponic tower garden. Everyone enjoyed the fresh parsley treat!
Breakfast Club this morning tasked our older Blue Jays with contemplating what their best traits are as a friend. In order to have a friend you need to be a friend, so their task was to write in their journals what they thought their best traits are and to be thinking about what they could add to their lists!
This week, our older classes focused on math and science skills in Outdoor Education. They learned how to find the diameter of a tree and how to identify Maples and their sugar content. (You may have noticed their sap bucket on the Maple in front of the school!) The kids also got to taste test sap at 2 levels of syrup!

⏰Have you caught up on your sleep from losing an hour for daylight savings time? At WCS, we know that sleep is just as important to our students' health as good nutrition🍎 and physical activity. 🏃♀️ Too little sleep is bad for our health and raises the risk for type 2 diabetes, even for kids. Eatright.org talks about how important sleep is to kids and gives us tips on how to prioritize getting enough sleep. https://www.eatright.org/health/wellness/healthful-habits/how-sleep-habits-affect-healthy-weight
