Whitin Weekly October 27th
Dear Whitin Families,
The following is the update for the week of October 27, 2019.
As we enter into the last week of November we continue to be rolling with the curriculum in all content areas. Students in grades 4-6 are using STMath daily and really enjoying trying to get Jiji successfully across the screen. This program has proven to help students develop a deep conceptual understanding of math. We are fortunate to have this program at Whitin.
In 7th grade students have been presenting their social studies projects and are working with milkweed bugs in science. Students are developing their communication skills as well as their understanding of different habitats.
A reminder that picture retakes are this Wednesday October 30th
Be sure to check out the section below about our after school clubs. Two clubs will be starting this week Yearbook and Newspaper club. All grades are welcome for both of these clubs.
