| Life Cycles of Meal Worms
and Frogs studied |
| Mrs. Markley's 2nd
grade class is having a blast studying the life cycle of beetles
and frogs. From Egg to adult, the students are learning first
hand how these two animals grow and change very differently. |
 |
| Each stage of the life cycle is a new adventure.
Which will win the race to adulthood? The answer lies in Westwood
Elementary's Science Lab... |

| It's No Mystery |
| Mrs. Gruener was
surprised with a visit by two mystery readers from Mrs. Hunter's
class Friday. With book titles like "I Am Generous"
and "I Care About Others," the message that these little
readers were sharing is no mystery. |
 |
| The girls were pleased to share
these character books with their counselor and their counselor
delighted in their enthusiasm for her favorite topic, character! |
| A third mystery reader came
by Friday afternoon and, sure enough, he had a book about character,
too. It's no mystery that a visit from some friends sure does
make the day special! |

| The Big Bad Wolf Visits
Westwood |
| What is the REAL
story behind the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf? Students
in Mrs. Michael's first-grade class got to the bottom of it when
the Big Bad Wolf (a.k.a. Robert's mom) visited the class and shared
the story from her point of view. |
 |
| Robert's sister Bobby, a fifth
grader, read aloud as the Wolf's side of the tale was finally
told. Our mystery readers sure do make stories come alive, and
this Big Bad Wolf's surprise visit on Friday was no exception.
Want to know what really happened? You'll have to read the book
to find out. |

| A Crowning Event |
| Westwood crowned
its first Prompt Prince at Wednesday Warbles this week to celebrate
an entire week of punctuality. In this new incentive program,
every child who comes to school all week on time, without a tardy
on their record, is eligible to be crowned the Prompt Prince or
Prompt Princess. |
 |
| All of the names
of the on-timers are put into a bin and one lucky student is randomly
chosen to sit on the throne and be honored for the day. And our
winner this week: Tyler from Mrs. Krail's first-grade class. Actually,
we all win when we watch our watch and get to school on time. |

Pillar Patrol
Starting Monday, September 10, a few new leaders
dressed in blue vests will be helping in the car rider line,
at the front and back doors, and in the gymnasium before school.
We are so excited to welcome this year's Pillar Patrol, a group
of third-grade volunteers who will be taking their post to greet
students as they arrive and help where they see a need. In the
front of school, Pillar Patrol students will be opening the door
for our car riders as they exit their vehicles in the morning.
At the school doors, they'll assist and greet with a friendly
"hello" to all who enter. In the gym, they will help
Mrs. Brady and Mrs. Grethen monitor our students as they wait
for class to begin. We thank Mrs. Rogers, our third-grade team
leader, for scheduling students by class to perform these important
duties and we anxiously await their service to our school family.
