Trigonometry students work hard on Unit Circle Project
Trigonometry students are working hard on a unit circle project. Students selected a teacher or an administrator to design and create a unit circle.
Students had to come up with interview questions and then interview their adult about the design, materials, and special considerations for their unit circle. Then students went to the Innovation Lab and designed and created their adults' unit circle.
When their unit circle is done, students will create a rubric and survey to get feedback on the whole process of this project. The goal is for students to practice interviewing others, designing and creating something that someone else gives the details about, creating a rubric and survey that will provide them with feedback on their process and product, and finally, using feedback to help them improve all of these skills.
World Cup celebration
The French and Spanish classes celebrated the World Cup Final Soccer match featuring France ‘les bleus’ playing against Argentina ‘la albiceleste’. Both groups created colorful displays featuring a lead player from their respective team (Kylian Mbappé representing France and Lionel Messi from Argentina).
Shout out to bus driver Terry!
Shout out to bus driver Terry! FFA students made her day, her week, her year when they purchased her a 'World's Best Bus Driver Ever' mug at the Tunbridge Fair and joined her in a country music singalong on the way home. It renewed her energy for bus driving so much this year that Terry enlarged this photograph and printed it on canvas so the students could sign it and she could hang it in a new home she is building. Thank you for all that you do, Terry!
Spanish students visit WES and start a virtual exchange program
Students visited Woodstock Elementary School in collaboration with Señora Gagne. They played games, read stories, and colored with Mrs. Dionne's 3rd grade class, all in the target language. High School students took the initiative to share and teach the younger students more about Spanish vocabulary, pronunciation, and words. Thank you for welcoming us WES!
Spanish IV and AP Spanish classes started their virtual exchange with a high school in Madrid called "Salesianos Paseo." They will have their second meeting to talk about the traditions and celebrations during the holidays, as well as the World Cup and more cultural differences & similarities. We are working with Raquel Morales, who is an English teacher in Madrid. We would like to thank Mr. Villanueva for connecting our schools and the cultural experience it provides for our students.
