On Friday, February 7th, 2020 the students and staff at Wells Road School participated in the Kids Heart Challenge for the American Heart Association. The entire school participated with fun activities coordinated by P.E. Teacher, Mr. Migneault. Some of the activities were jump roping, basketball, Heart Hero hearts, climbing the rock wall, and a special station with school nurse Mrs. Cosgrove where students learned to find their pulse.
In all, 160 students raised funds totaling $12,008.11! This takes our grand total over the past 13 years to $131, 516.42. That is a lot of healthy hearts thanks to Wells Road. Our top fundraiser this year was 4th grader, Vanessa. Students earned a No Homework night and an extra recess to celebrate their great work as compassionate contributors. (Mrs. Pestana)
Mr. Whitten’s and Mrs. Toth’s classes have both been studying fossils. They are trying to understand what the living creatures looked like and how they acted based on evidence found inside the earth. Paleontologists have to create “stories” based on what they find. The students created some of these scenarios in class with clay and plastic dinosaurs. Some of these situations included dinosaurs walking across a path, eating on their hind legs and battling each other. (Jim Whitten)
Some students in Mrs. Jackson's groups are learning about expected and unexpected behavior and language in the classroom, on the playground, and beyond. Students are learning how to use their "social smarts" to figure out what is expected and how other's feel. We are utilizing the book “You are a Social Detective” by Michelle Garcia Winner and Pamela Crooke. (Ursula Jackson)
