PreK teachers are at the 2022 Early Childhood Education Conference. They are thrilled to learn new strategies and activities they can bring back to elevate our already amazing WES classrooms.
Make plans now to participate in Red Ribbon Week next week.
Mrs. Stewart’s class has been learning about the ancient civilization or Mesopotamia. Today, they talked about how the Mesopotamians used tablets made of clay to write in cuneiform. They used play-doh to make their tablets and wrote their names in cuneiform like the Mesopotamians.
Mrs Stevens’ Pre-K class enjoyed a pumpkin investigation this morning measuring the pumpkin, counting the seeds, and having fun carving it!
Westside had a “Pink Out” day today to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Second grade has been studying Ancient Greece and its contributions! Mrs. Alston and Miss Beshears had an Olympic Game competition! Mrs. Alston’s class came out on top, but all students showed great sportsmanship and determination! They all had fun!
This week’s “leader of the week” is Jeron Boykins from Mrs. Basinger’s 2nd grade class. Jeron has been making good choices and being kind to others. We are proud of leaders like Jeron at WES.
Mrs. Basinger, Mrs. Reynolds, and Mrs. Thomasson’s 2nd grade classes enjoyed taking part in Olympic Games after their Ancient Greek Civilization unit!
Mrs. Martin’s class used spooky pretzels to complete their math lesson for today. They had to sort their pretzels, count and write the number of pumpkins and bats in their bag, and compare the sets. Almost everyone had more bats than pumpkins! Math is so much fun with a yummy snack!

Students in Mrs. Thomasson’s 2nd grade class finished up their review of Greek Civilizations by making Olive Wreaths and trying olives. Other 2nd graders also joined in on trying olives. 🫒
