Summer Adventure Wildcats read the story "Only One You" to celebrate how our differences make us special and our connections make us strong. Then, they brought the story to life by painting their own special rocks - each one as unique as they are! #LifeInTheW

These are the drones you’re looking for! 🤖⭐ Our Wildcats teamed up to pilot their mini starships (drone) through an obstacle course, showing off their skills in teamwork and navigation! #lifeinthew #wildcatsummeradventures

Wildcat Summer Adventures are bringing our students together! Ms. Horques’ 4th grade Dual Language class recently visited Ms. Matienzo’s Kindergarten classroom to share stories with our youngest Wildcats. The 4th graders were thrilled to be storytellers, and the Kindergarteners loved spending time with the big kids! #lifeinthew #wildcatsummeradventures

Volcanoes exploded in the summer school classroom— along with curiosity and fun! Our students learned all about volcanoes through hands-on creation and experimentation. #LifeintheW

Wildcat Summer Adventures: Boat Float Challenge! 🛥 Our Wildcats got creative and put their engineering skills to the test by building boats out of tin foil, popsicle sticks, and pipe cleaners. The catch? They needed to be tested to see if they could float... while holding ten pennies! #LifeintheW #wildcatsummeradventures

Beach theme at Wildcat Summer Adventures! Students explored sand, water, and learned words like olas, marea, mar, playa, cubeta y pala, protector solar (waves, tide, beach, pail and shovel, and sunscreen). 😎 #LifeintheW

Art class + creative Wildcats = a great day at Wildcat Summer Adventures! Our students crafted dragon eyes out of clay in art class and they turned out to be true masterpieces! 💚

Reminder: Woodland D50 will be closed on Thursday, June 19 in honor of Juneteenth

Summer school students were off to a roll last week using their STEM skills to make marble runs. They worked together with cardboard and popsicle sticks to create some truly marble-ous designs! #LifeInTheW

Summer fun for the little ones! Ms. Sanchez has her Wildcat Summer Adventure students forming numbers with tiles, painting with marshmallows, drawing letters in sand, and so much more. #LifeintheW

Our Wildcats aren't the only ones excited for summer school! Some special visitors came by to say ‘hi’👋 and check out all the fun activities we have planned for our students this summer. #LifeintheW #WildcatSummerAdventures

Woodland’s summer programs kicked off today and our Wildcats are ready to learn and have some summer fun! 💚🐯☀️ #LifeintheW #WildcatSummerAdventures

With so much excitement at the end of the year, we still have a few highlights to post even though school is out for the summer. Here is a throwback to a mid-May field trip... 7th Grade WMS students had a great time exploring art, science, and local history at Kenosha Public Museum in Wisconsin. It was a fun and educational field trip full of curiosity and discovery. Thank you to Mrs. Monterroso, Ms. Morey, and Mr. Aablouche for sharing the photos! #LifeintheW

Before the school year ended, Ms. Wilinski fixed, cleaned, and operated an old cotton candy machine at Elementary to surprise teacher with a special treat! Things did get a bit sticky but the smiles made it worth it 💚🍭

Smile - Staff Selfie Challenge!!! We asked Woodland staff members to send in happy moments throughout the month of May to capture the last few weeks of school. Ms. Grogan sent in a few selfies saying, "Elementary teachers are ready for a fun Friday" and posing with students on Favorite Rock Band Day! Thank you for sharing these happy Elementary moments! #LifeintheW

Field Day at Intermediate! Our Intermediate Wildcats were able to celebrate field day and the last day of school out in the sun. They played games, danced, hung out with friends, and cooled off with popsicles in the shade! What a great way to say “bye” to school and “hello” to summer 🐯☀️😎
