Elementary Spirit Week Details:

Friendly Reminders:

TK-2nd Christmas Program: TK-2nd grade performers should dress in Christmas winter wear. Colorful scarfs, beanies, and mittens would be cute! (Old Navy and Gap are a couple of good places to find cozy kid's clothing!)

Sweatshirts: Please be sure students are wearing their school sweatshirts. Check the lost and found for misplaced sweaters, sweatshirts, and jackets. All items left in the lost and found will be donated during Christmas break.

December 17th: All school half day and there will be no daycare.

Christmas Break: December 20th-January 3rd.

Biomes and Ecosystems

5th Grade with Mrs. Lopez

Fifth grade has been learning all about biomes and ecosystems! Students were placed in groups to research one of the five biomes - aquatic, desert, forest, grasslands, and tundra. Using different materials found in both the classroom and outside, students then created their very own models of their biome. Finally, the students worked together to write a group paper with information about their biome. They had an amazing time and learned so much! Check out the forest group’s unedited paper!

San Fernando Mission

4th Grade Field Trip

Fourth Grade had the exciting opportunity to go back in time and see what it was like to live at San Fernando Mission. They were able to see many original artifacts used by the people who lived there including beautiful baskets, tools, and even adobe bricks. Students were able to tour the mission with a docent, ask questions, and enjoy a fun field trip!

4th Grade Manger Scene

Art with Mrs. Kim

"And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).

This project focuses on color theory and how warm colors bring a certain feeling to a piece of art. The students used warm colors (yellows, oranges) to capture the precious moment of Jesus' birth, while using cool colors (blues and greens) to capture the holy night. We considered the simple gospel (the manger) and the complicated world we live in (the town of Bethlehem background). They were very proud of their success.

Piano Lessons

Atsuyo Jeen teaches piano at WVCS. She offers lessons after school to every age group. She is an incredibly gifted teacher and the students simply adore her! For more information about piano lessons, email Atsuyo at jeenatsuyo@gmail.com.

STEM with Mrs. Fiske

This week in STEM class...

Our youngest elementary students made shelves for their elves this week! They learned about balance and stability. 2nd through 4th grade learned about parachutes and made plans and a blueprint for their parachutes for Santa that they will be constructing next week. 5th graders got to help set up and be the first to operate our new robots called Botley 2.0. In Middle School, students finished their rotations with the Dash Robots and Brain Games. They ended the week learning a new math game called "Pig" that incorporated mental math, probability and strategy, with a bit of luck too.
