Westside Elementary

Mr. McCurdy came to Mrs. Black's first grade classroom and did some fun Thanksgiving Day reading and coloring a turkey!

Mrs. Maher’s class worked on fine motor skills while learning about the first Thanksgiving. They made a bracelet to retell the story of the pilgrim’s voyage to the New World. Each bead represented a part of the story of the pilgrims journey leading up to the first Thanksgiving meal. ❤️🦃

They proudly showcased their creations through the halls, celebrating creativity, teamwork, and the upcoming holiday!

⭐ WES is proud and thankful for our wonderful Leaders of the Week!

Mrs. Thomasson’s class had a special visitor yesterday—our community helper, Mrs. Ali Lacina from UWA! 🍎✨ She led a fun, hands-on activity that reminded us you can’t judge a book by its cover. The kids loved the walk-about where they shared their opinions on different Thanksgiving foods, and we wrapped it all up with a yummy fresh chocolate chip cookie! 🍪🤎 Such a great day of learning, laughing, and building community! 🧡👏

This week, in Mrs. Meadows and Mrs. Browns Pre-K class, we are learning all about Thanksgiving! Yesterday our little learners became chefs as they made their very own rolls and homemade butter. The best part? Getting to taste-test their creations! It was a fun, hands-on way to explore traditions and celebrate the season together. 🧈🥖🫶🏻
