We are grateful for so many things at Woodland Community School, and having the opportunity to share our gratefulness in our broader community has been a impactful experience for our students over the past two months. Our days have been peppered with reading several books about being grateful along with giving back and what that might look like.
A student group, particularly fond of animals, made dog treats out of peanut butter, flour and pumpkin - and took them to Above the Notch Humane Society as a gift. Of course, several barks and licks later, smiling Woodland students who wished to do so were able to feed the treats to the dogs as well! Pam at Above the Notch shared with us about how she and many others care for the dogs and thanked the students for their gifts. Students made cards for the residents of Riverglen House, an assisted living community in Littleton which currently takes care of 34 residents. Each student either wrote independently, or followed writing prompts, to share a little bit about his or herself. Each card was then personally decorated. Students let their creativity shine! Other community activities included decorating paper bags for Meals on Wheels with festive winter holiday cheer and creating “thankful” writing shared within the immediate school community.

our students incredible opportunities in personalized leaning, student driven programming, academics, the arts, outdoor pursuits and skills, program development initiatives, technology, financial aid, professional growth opportunities, and more!
Whether hunting for monarchs and observing stages of development, building in our new makerspace, constructing a model playground with Lego robotics, tromping through tall grasses to a local glacial erratic, or practicing letter blends in workshop time you can find current Woodland stories here!
A gift to Woodland this year makes a real difference to our students, and allows us to continue to move forward, shifting the way education is manifested and remembered, one student at a time.

Our Simple Machines Journey of Discovery included the exploration of levers, measurement of force and distance, pneumatics and hydraulics. We traveled to the new space at
White Mountain Science, Inc.
(WMSI) for a workshop on pneumatics. Students created rockets, dancing people and a cow jumping over the moon, all powered by their pneumatics simple machines.
Students continued to explore by taking on challenges to prove the idea that simple machines actually make work easier. Challenges accepted!

Students collected data through several lever and inclined plane experiments and a spring scale. We all agreed…simple machines make work easier
!
The culminating project for the Simple Machines Journey engaged students in designing and building their very own inventions. Here's a peek below!

Why Woodland?
A Woodland education benefits children because we respect them - we take children seriously. Students at Woodland are seen as capable, strong, and rich with wonder, knowledge and potential. Active learning is at the heart of all we do - whether engaging in meaningful social and emotional growth experiences or diving deep into topics as researchers and scientific thinkers. Our environment is stimulating, fun, safe, nurturing, and, most importantly, one that ignites curiosity and fosters a love of learning.

It is the mission of Woodland Community School to nurture and respect children's love of learning by encouraging their natural curiosity and self-motivated exploration. Through meaningful connections children develop a sense of self and others, an understanding of their place in community, and a deep appreciation for the natural world.
