All of the WVHS Law and Public Safety students competed in building a first responder vehicle using only glue, popsicle sticks, construction paper, and markers. First year students were instructed to build a law enforcement vehicle based on either a car, truck, SUV, or Humvee. The 2nd year students were instructed to build a fire truck that included a water compartment and a firefighter compartment. All vehicles were judged by other students based on design, detail, and construction. In addition to this, the fire trucks must hold water in the water compartment, and a competition was held to see which apparatus would hold water the longest. All students did an outstanding job!!
8th grade Math students utilized their video creation skills to explain the concepts of decimal expansion and difference in rational and irrational numbers.
The Lego lesson this week was about sorting. Mrs. Logsdon’s students discussed items they might sort at home. They used a Venn Diagram to sort the Legos and had to explain their reasoning for sorting the way they did. Thank you Mrs. Redwine for the fun lessons.
Mrs. Winters’ first grade class has been learning and writing about pumpkin life cycles. They cut open two different pumpkins to compare and contrast and then incorporated the seeds from their pumpkins into some pumpkin artwork that showed all stages it’s growth.
Happy Thanksgiving!
