Over the past few months, the cast of Peter Pan Jr. worked very hard and took great pride in memorizing lines, learning songs, and practicing dance moves. For many, it was their first time taking part in such a production. It was wonderful to see them perform at the theater in front of a live audience. We are so proud of their accomplishments and are thankful to the dedicated staff who made it possible.
Dazzling Dave, a former teacher and Guinness World Book record holder visits Windsor for the first time! He taught us cool physics lessons while demonstrating some truly fascinating tricks with many different types of yo-yos. Students had a chance to show us their hand-eye coordination, throwing and catching skills, and balance as they learned how to yo-yo. Everyone watched with great anticipation as the yo-yo guru attempted to knock a poker chip off of the ears of volunteers.
Today, we joined in the excitement of Read Across America, a nationwide celebration in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Some guest readers dropped by our younger classrooms and shared stories. The children were delighted to see the beloved Cat in the Hat bring his story to life.
We celebrated the 100th day of school in style. After counting the days in anticipation of this special milestone, the Windsor wildcat delighted students and staff with an early morning visit. He even joined in the fun during gym class!
We enjoyed a whole bunch of fun and engaging winter-themed activities this week. Everyone had a chance to try something new and socialize with their peers throughout the day. This tradition started out as a suggestion from one of our student council members three years ago and has become a popular annual celebration.
Ugly sweaters have become very popular over the past few years. While wearing one for spirit day is very typical, creating one for a contest is a whole different story. Our oldest students were challenged to design an ugly sweater and write an ad that would persuade people to buy it. They were very excited about this fun activity and they got very creative.
Our students enjoy participating in a variety of sports activities throughout the year. Exercise is an important part of the weekly schedule and we provide many opportunities for everyone to get moving as often as possible.
It’s been great seeing our friends from the PAWS in Hand program again this year! These special volunteer handlers have been providing our students with the opportunity to meet and work with dogs for several years now. This activity benefits our students as well as the pups and is very popular among all age groups.
Weekly clubs provide everyone the chance to try something new. Different activities are offered so that students have time to socialize and have fun after working all week.
Students were recognized for the accomplishments they made during the first marking period. They received awards for academics, specials, and showing kindness towards others. We are proud of the award recipients and encourage everyone to keep reaching for their goals!
