Ashley Dennis, 4H coordinator, did an activity with both 2nd grade classes. Students made a boat with aluminum foil then tested the boats in water. They added pennies to see how much they could add before the boat sunk.
Penny quantities ranged from 4 to 121. Students then discussed why some held more than others. What a great experiment!

Mrs. Toth's 2nd grade class designed their own ugly sweaters (but I think they're too cute to be ugly)
We're bringing back the caroling tradition at WES. Thank you, Mrs. Nyquist, for leading us in song.
Mrs. Williams's Kindergarten Christmas party.
Miss Jarvela's class was gearing up for Christmas by reading Christmas stories with the kindergartners.
Students at WES received a special treat today as Mr. Kepich's 5th grade class traveled the halls playing holiday favorites.
Reminder
Quoting our very own Diana Hansen:
"Just a reminder that my sweaters during this time of the year are NOT my ugly sweaters. They are my REGULAR sweaters. Many of you are jealous because you don't have that 90s style I have. Yes, some of you are younger than my sweaters. They are vintage beauty!!!!"

Happy Friday
Students at WES had a special visitor today. It really was a true Grinch Day.
