We are so lucky 🍀 to have such creative students! Check out these leprechaun traps that use #WCDSGrade1 student knowledge of simple machines. Hopefully they will work to catch those pesky leprechauns! #WCDSScience #WCDSCreativity

The #WCDSGrade4 Interactive Wax Museum was back! 4th graders dressed like famous people from our past and came to life to tell their stories. They also created a “button” using their new knowledge of electricity. Check out Wilma Rudolph, Ben Franklin, Dean Smith, and Frida Khalo!

#WCDSGrade4 recently did a Zoom with author, Stuart Gibbs and learned about his latest book, Whale Done. The book was preordered and will surely fly off the shelf in Ms. Hunt’s classroom library when it arrives! Thanks @AuthorStuGibbs for instilling a love of reading! 📚 ✍🏻📝

In celebration of MLK Jr.‘a Day of Service, we kicked off the day with service projects with C.A.R.E.S. Crews buddies. #WCDSGrade2 made Valentine’s Day cards with their 9th grade buddies. We’re in love with their work! 💙❤️ #WCDSCommunity #WCDSServiceLearning

L is for Lamp and A is for Athlete. These #WCDSGrade2 students understood the assignment for Name Day spirit day, dressing as something that starts with their first letters of their names. Can you see that this is a working lamp??? 💡🏈 #WCDSCommunity
