🐾 Thank you for supporting WES and showing your Tiger pride! 🐾

🐾 This week in Pre-K has been all about pets! Our students explored different types of pets and learned how to care for them. To wrap up the fun, they finished the week with their very own pet show! 🐶🐱🐢

🍂 Mrs. Little’s class is fall-ing into math fun this October with partner activities and festive Halloween counting collections! 🎃✨

October is National Principal Appreciation Month! Join us in celebrating our incredible leader, Mrs. Brandi Smith, for her dedication, vision, and love for our Westside family.

🎀 Our Pre-K students are tickled pink for Pink Day!

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mr. Donald for everything he does to keep WES shining bright!

🐾 This week, Mrs. Meadows and Mrs. Brown’s Pre-K class has been learning all about pets! We discovered that some animals are adopted from shelters, so our class decided to host a Puppy Adoption Day. 🐶 Each child hand-picked their very own puppy and gave it a special name. Today, they’ll be bringing their new furry friend home to love and care for!

Tomorrow is Spirit Picture Day! 📸🐯
Strike a pose with the DHS Tiger mascot and show off your Tiger pride! Don’t forget to bring your completed picture form and $5 so you don’t miss out on this fun keepsake opportunity.

Mrs. Cook’s kindergarten class explored the “core” of AB and ABC patterns today using Connecting Cubes. The students loved creating their own patterns—it was a big hit!

Students who have met their AR goals are sharing their love of reading by helping their friends in Ms. Gandy’s class.

Kindergarten has been busy exploring all things apples and Johnny Appleseed this week! 🍎 From apple tastings and graphing to fun apple stations and even making “apple pie in a cup,” our little learners have had a sweet time learning.

Mrs. Garcia’s class practiced number recognition today! Uno cards are a simple way to practice math at home!
