Our 8th grade students built campaigns to convince colonists to move their colony. They then presented their Colony campaigns to our 5th grade explorers. This is an awesome example of #JoyfulLearning across our K-8 campus!

Our 2nd grade team hosted Grandparents Day this last week! Huge thank you to the grandparents that collaborated with us by bringing artifacts and allowing our students to interview them! Our Explorers have been learning about how life was different long ago. This event allows our students to use comparison skills to determine differences between today and long ago. #WCSRefection
