WP WEEKLY BULLETIN
September 9th, 2022
A Note from Ms. Gons
Despite the rainy start, we had an amazing first week at WP!
On Thursday we had grade level assemblies where we discussed our S.O.A.R. initiative, school rules and the many fun events planned for this year-such as Pride at the Point Assemblies, Eagle Pride Book Reward Center and Fourth Grade Kindergarten Buddies.
The excitement of the students and staff is infectious! This is going to be a GREAT year!
Enjoy your weekend!

REACH Offerings- Trimester 1
Grade 2 Primary Thinking Skills Program Push-In: This is a Type 1 REACH Program offering. Weekly lessons are provided using the P.E.T.S. (Primary Education Thinking Skills) which is a systemized enrichment and diagnostic thinking skills program that serves a dual purpose of helping in the identification of academically talented learners and teaching students higher-level thinking skills. Through stories and a series of whole class activities, students are encouraged to practice and develop four different thinking skills: convergent, divergent, visual, and evaluative.
Grade 3 STEM: This is a Type 1 REACH Program offering. The weekly STEM lessons and challenges focus on the Engineering Design Process. Students will learn about how gravity, compression, and tension are important factors when building structures. The students will engage in building challenges using different materials.
Grade 4 STEM: This is a Type 1 REACH Program offering. The weekly STEM lessons and challenges deepen our students’ experience and understanding of the Engineering Design Process as a strategy to attack real life problems. The STEM challenges are hands-on and encourage risk-taking and experimentation, two necessary components to innovative thinking.
Grade 4 Independent Study - STEM Invention: This is a Type 2 REACH Program offering. This self-select program is for interested, task committed and highly motivated students. Students will use the Engineering Design Process to plan, design, build and present an original idea.
