WES 2nd Grade enjoying Fall Festival.
2nd grade decorated their classroom pumpkin to match the book Snow White and the seven dwarfs. The challenge: Decorate a class pumpkin in 30 minutes. Each student had specific jobs to complete to get it done. The boys put a base coat on the pumpkin, and while it dried, they worked on the forest setting. Then four different students painted blue for her dress. The girls made the hair, and the student-teacher put the blue glitter on. The students made the mouth out of modeling clay then glued the eyes and mouth on the pumpkin. Finally, each student that was a dwarf, made a little dwarf using a small apple with a hat, eyes, button nose, and cotton beard. The students did a great job with teamwork. #WeirExcellenceShines!

Fifth grade students are really excelling in meeting Accelerated Reader goals. They are rewarded as they work toward their goals each week. If a student scores 100 on an AR test, he or she gets a reward coupon for a chance at a shopping spree. Students take their reward coupons to the office. They place them in a box for a drawing that will be held in December and again at the end of the school year. Students whose names are chosen get to select items they want to purchase.
2nd-grade students are classifying animals in Science class. Students had a fun time - separating the different animal cards into the right groups. No tricking these 2nd graders - they were ready. #WeirExcellenceShines!

The students in the kindergarten class at Weir Elementary School are looking for their sight words in library books. Each Friday, the kindergarteners anxiously await the appearance of Cassie Velvet, a rabbit hand puppet, to assist in selecting their names for choosing books to enjoy. This week, the library at WES received many donations in memory of Mrs. Mae Balentine and in honor of her years of service as an educator. The donations will purchase many books like those the students are pictured with here. Mrs. Balentine's legacy of loving students and teaching them will continue through the generous donations we have received.
