We are also drawing our self-portraits into play passports to "fly" around the world! We are so excited for our first trip to Australia! | Music We are busy making, playing and SINGING music!! We usually play the xylophones, metallaphones, and bass bars everyday and are learning to keep a steady beat as well as adding layers, or harmonies, to music we already know! We are even getting ready for PROGRAMS!! Be on the lookout for information regarding upcoming programs, as well as information about recorders! As always, if you have any questions, please reach out and let me know! I would LOVE to hear from you! | Physical Education Schoolwide in P.E., we’re focusing on working together safely and being respectful to others. We know this makes class more fun!

Fifth Grade We are off to a great start in 5th grade! This quarter in Ms. Harvey's Social Studies class students are learning what it means to be a Historian and we will shortly begin studying early exploration. In Ms. Zurawel's Math class students are learning about arrays, please memorize your multiplication facts and look for arrays in your home, park, store... in fact, anywhere you can find! Science Greetings from 5th grade in Mr. Robinson's room! We have been hard at work studying ecosystems and identifying those things that help animals grow and thrive. We are lucky to have an exceptional EE program headed by Ms. Brusig that supports our science learning as we also study plant structures. We encourage all students to spend at least 20 minutes reading and practice math facts each night. We are so excited to spend the year with your student! | Experiential Education Hello families and friends of Wamsley Wildcats! My name is Ms. Brusig (Ms. B) and I am the K-5 Experiential Education (EE) teacher for this year. Our goal in EE class is to be outside as much as possible, engaging in hands-on, real-world learning experiences. We will be focusing on field experiences that match the seasons - for example: harvesting the Wamsley garden in October, and snowshoeing in the winter months. Our first EE Family Night will be September 30th, where families will get the opportunity to learn about EE more by doing hands-on learning and problem solving with their Wildcat. We are super excited to get into hiking, camping, fishing, shelter building, cooking, and other essential life skills. Please ask your Wildcat about their experiences in EE class! | Parent Teacher Action Committee (PTAC)PTAC starts up again this month with our first meeting on Tuesday, September 7th at 4:05pm.
