WMAES Art Prize


Here we are putting all those cereal boxes to good use! The kids have been working hard on our WMAES Art Prize entry- a mosaic made from cut-up boxes. Our poster will be on display in the hallway next week. Check it out during conferences!

Hay Ride!

One of my favorite days at WMAES is always Hay Ride Day with Mr. Dunkerton. The kids had a great time. Thanks, Mr. D!

Learning About Maps

Today Miss Holly planned such a fun lesson to teach the kids to read maps. By following a map of our campus, we found all of the puzzle pieces that led us to a treasure at the chicken coop!

Field Trip to Robinette's


Thankfully the sun came out Thursday afternoon for our field trip to Robinette's. The first graders took a tractor ride through the orchard and had fun in the corn maze. We learned about the behaviors of honey bees and the cider-making process and then got to enjoy a cup of cider and a very tasty donut!
