A peek into Wheatland's Library Media Center finds Sue Laskowski organizing author visits and Battle of the Books (BOB), where she has a virtual bookshelf with all of the resources that students need to succeed when they participate in this program! Fourth graders were so excited to check out their BOB books this year! Not only does Ms. Laskowski keep our LMC running and stocked with great books, she also teaches Sixth Grade Explorations and an Eighth Grade Media Lab class! Mrs. Horton found her setting up the teleprompter and recording equipment in the green screen room for a student project this week. During another visit, Ms. Laskowski sang the cutest calming and expectations song with students as they prepared to listen to a book! She also supervises student aides who helped design and gather supplies to decorate bookcases in the media center. Ms. Laskowski helps foster a love of reading at Wheatland Center School!

Picture retakes and make-ups are Tuesday, October 11th!

Brantina daSilva teaches Math, ELA, Medical Detectives, and Speakers Forum to 6th, 7th, & 8th grade students. She may be new to Wheatland this year, but she is a familiar face! “Wheatland has been a part of my teaching journey since 2016 when I was first placed with Mrs. Zirbel as a student teacher,” Mrs. daSilva says. “I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be a part of this community again when [it] presented itself.” As part of this week's #WCSTeacherFeature, Mrs. Horton visited Mrs. daSilva's classroom, a calm and inviting space, during a small seventh grade ELA group, where students were engaged and working hard as they analyzed a reading passage to increase comprehension and vocabulary. During 8th grade math, Mrs. daSilva worked with students as they reflected on artifacts that they added to their Wheatland READY Profiles. Later, her sixth grade ELA students made predictions before a read-aloud, learning to take notes about characters and events. In Speakers Forum today, students presented Invention Commercials, including a hilarious promotion for "Bean Crocs"! Mrs. daSilva really connects with students and responds to their needs each day with care!

Wheatland’s new drones were put to the test today, capturing this afternoon's Cross Country meet hosted by WCS! Great job to our students and coaches, and to Mrs. Sabourin on a well "RUN" event! Check out Mrs. Horton's Twitter feed via the links below for some great aerial videos of the meet! We can't wait to get our students coding and flying these drones! https://twitter.com/HortonKandi/status/1577421712836431873?t=EB8yar28ezx2zd3SqD3-lg&s=19 https://twitter.com/HortonKandi/status/1577423915994927105?t=imqHHsPMChdvG_MwrJGyKg&s=19
