Our second graders enjoyed a salad bar snack today made with the lettuce they grew in their tower garden. YUMMY! #WarsawInspires

Our 6th graders were the first students to test out the new STEM lab tables and chairs. They were in the STEM lab to dissect squids. Some students were intrigued by the squids while others were not so sure about the experience. #WarsawInspires

Our 3rd graders had an amazing field trip to the boardwalk at Pike Lake last week. Along the boardwalk, students stopped at stations to learn about soil and water sampling and identifying animals by the footprints and scat they left behind. #WarsawInspires

Thank you to all of the staff and students who participated in today’s hat day to raise money for Feed My Starving Children! #WarsawInspires

Today our kindergarteners were little computer scientists in art. Ms. Hall taught them how to program mini robots to paint their pictures! #WarsawInspires

In Miss Zamora's Science Class, 5th graders have been learning about and building volcanoes. Today, they created a chemical reaction which caused the volcanoes to erupt! It was so fun to watch these scientists at work!! #WarsawInspires

A supershot clinic will be available at Claypool. See the poster for more details or contact our school nurse with any questions.

Have you ever heard your student talk about Heggerty and found yourself wondering what that means? Heggerty is a teaching tool used to help young students get better at hearing and working with the sounds in words. Think of it like training for their ears and brains to recognize and play with the building blocks of language. The program involves short, daily activities where students practice things like rhyming, breaking words into sounds, and blending sounds together. This skill-building is important because it helps them become better readers and writers as they grow. This picture shows Miss Flohr and her students doing their daily Heggerty lesson. Notice that it's not just speaking, but also hand motions that go along with the activities. #WarsawInspires

Our 6th graders are building solar ovens. These photos are of them in the building stage. We'll keep you updated on their progress. #WarsawInspires

Reminder that tomorrow, Thursday, September 5, is picture day! Due to the background for the photos, please do NOT wear green. Check out these students practicing their best picture day smiles!

Today our students participated in PBIS stations. During these stations students learn/are reminded of the expectations and procedures throughout the school. Doing these stations ensures that all students and staff are held to the same expectations. Stations include restroom, cafeteria, technology, recess, bus, and parent pick-up.

Thank you so much to the Warsaw Education Foundation for the grant they provided for our 6th graders to have ukuleles!

Our 4th graders had a beautiful day to visit the Kosciusko Fairgrounds for Ag Day today. #ExperienceWCS

Mrs. Cooksey's class held their "Peep-Mobiles" contest today. The groups of students designed, built, tested, and competed with their cars built from legos. The cars had to hold two peeps and go the furthest down the ramp. The students also learned the importance of seat belts, as some peeps flew out of their cars! #ExperienceWCS
