Playground Renovation Update

Westwood families, we wanted to give you an update on our playground renovation!

Phase 1: The field has been leveled, extended, and seeded. Grass is taking root and is expected to be fully established by April.

Phase 2: New, ADA-approved playground equipment will be installed in early June, including new play structures, a covered basketball court, turf play areas, and more. Installation is timed to avoid extended indoor recess for students.

Fundraisers: Several fundraisers are coming this spring to support Phase 2,. Details coming soon!

Thank you for supporting our school community! ❤️🐾

Mrs. Lewis' 4th grade mathematicians explored measuring their shoe length with non-standard objects (legos, tiles, and cubes) and then compared their calculations to measuring with rulers. We recorded our results on a line plot and concluded that measuring with accuracy is an important, real world skill!

Ms. Diaz's class rang in the New Year with fun and learning! Students got creative by coloring festive crowns, explored different New Year traditions through stories, practiced addition and subtraction using their 12 grapes, and ended the day with a countdown to the New Year. They also made 12 wishes while enjoying their yummy grapes. A very sweet way to start the year!
