Around the World 2nd and 3rd Grade Concert

All of the students did a wonderful job at the concert for the school this morning and for the parent concert this afternoon. All of their hard work really paid off! Who knew they could sing so well in so many different languages?

Thank you for all of your support. The audience was amazing! 

Our Very Own Sixty-Eight Rooms!

Check out these intricate rooms that students, families and classrooms made at Wilson! 

Students were able to view these rooms and vote on their favorites. 

Room 205 created the "Ultimate Kid's Room"- complete with a planetarium, McDonald's, double decker couch, pets and electronics. 

Lexi made a delectable bakery with treats that looked good enough to eat! 

Isabella made a "home sweet home room" with lights that even turned on! 

Alyssa made the ultimate girls room with glitter galore! 

The Wilson Talent Show

Great job to all those talented Wilson students who performed in the talent show on Friday night.A special shout-out to two especially awesome performers from room 205- beautiful singing Aaliyah and cool dancing Bella! 

The Planetarium

We had a blast at the Planetarium this past week! From riding the bus to seeing many famous constellations on the ceiling of the Planetarium, students were able to really experience space and learn even more about our solar system. 

Riding on the bus! 

Preparing for take-off. 

Our spaceship. 

Our pilot. 

To infinity and beyond! 

Skyping with Marianne Malone, the Author of Sixty-Eight Rooms

Marianne Malone visited all of us at Wilson Elementary this past week! Mrs. Malone talked about her writing process, where she finds inspiration to write, what she likes most about writing and what she was like as a student. One student asked how long it took her to write a book. Mrs Malone responded that it took her "five months to write Sixty-Eight Rooms and nine months to edit Sixty-Eight Rooms." Wow! This was awesome for our students to hear. We stress how important it is to edit our writing and to make our final pieces their best; it was great that Mrs. Malone reiterate the importance of editing your writing! Students asked Mrs. Malone many more great questions about her book. 

Thank you everyone for being so diligent about encouraging your students to read 68 Rooms, reading 68 Rooms as a family, having discussions about the book and participating in all our extra activities related to 68 Rooms! 

Students Attending a "Live Museum" Put on by the Fourth and Fifth Graders

Students in Ms. Pichler's and Ms. Amenda's class researched important figures in America's early years. Students were able to hear a speech put on by the students and participated in asking questions about revolutionary figures such as George Washington, Sacajewa and many more!
