A Most "Wonder"ful Time of Year

Save the Date

Our exciting journey into Winter "Wonder"land has begun! This week has seen our kindergarten students diving into learning about penguins, first graders reaching for the stars and studying planets, and our second graders are expanding their horizons and exploring the continents.

Teachers, staff, and parent volunteers have helped students answer their "wonder" questions while researching their areas of interest. Next week, students will take the information they learned and work in small groups to develop projects. These projects will showcased during the Winter "Wonder"land event on Thursday, February 4 from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.

These first graders are studying the planets.

This second grade friend is learning about South America.

She is busy answering her I "Wonder" questions!

These kindergarten students are learning about penguins.

Kindergarten students took turns measuring themselves against an Emperor Penguin drawing. Emperor Penguins can grow up to four feet tall. Most of the students in the room guessed they would be taller than the penguin. Most were close, but no one was actually taller. 

With tonight's predicted snowfall, it will be important to stay tuned to Dr. Brown's twitter feed, the website, district facebook page, the West Genesee app, and the local radio and television stations for information on delays and cancellations. In addition, please make sure that your child has appropriate clothing. Students not only walk to and from the bus, but also play outside for recess. We want to make sure they stay warm! Please practice with your child to make sure they can put on their own boots and zip their own jackets.
