Sixth graders had fun at their "coffee shop" for the day in Mrs. Davenport's reading class!
Students earned this celebration after deconstructing Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" and then creating their own nonsensical poems. They had the opportunity to read their works aloud and enjoy hot chocolate, tea, and mini muffins.

It's the most wonderful time of year! Our WGS student's winter program was a hit! Thank you to Mrs. Wildeman, Miss. Vilaysing and Mrs. Dawson for putting the crowd in the holiday spirit.
The sixth graders created games that showed two different forms of potential energy, as well as kinetic energy. They worked hard and created some amazing devices!
