Starting the Year Off Right

At WJHS, we think that it is critical to focus on relationships and engaging lessons during the first days/weeks of school (actually all year but that's another post!).

During my classroom visits yesterday, I saw numerous examples of teachers that were getting students "hooked" from the first bell.

Some examples were:

Creating personal flotation devices for minions.



Building troop launchers.


Collaboratively created classroom norms.


Gummy Worms and Math?


A happiness wall.



We are doing everything that we can to help ensure that your child runs toward, rather than away, from our school.

You can keep an eye on what's going on behind the scenes here at WJHS by following us on Twitter (@gowjhswildcats), Instagram (GoWJHSWildcats), and/or Facebook.
