Mrs. Rawson's 5th grade math students worked in groups today to use clue words to solve word problems. Working in groups helps students share different strategies, build mathematical communication, and learn through peer feedback. Plus, it's fun to get up and work around the room!
Students in Mr. Callahan’s and Ms. VanNess’ classes made Remembrance Ribbons as a project to remember those who were affected or perished in the September 11 attacks. The classes also watched age-appropriate videos and discussed the feelings from people who witnessed that day. They read stories of hope that conveyed the meaning behind “Never Forget.” The 8 ft. by 10 ft. American flag on the wall flew at a military base in Afghanistan shortly after 9/11/2001. It was gifted to Mr. Callahan by a servicemember whose daughter was in Mr. C’s class at the time, as a “thank you” for their support of the troops and America.

Mr. Singer’s MTSS group has been loving learning to build words using Play-Doh!
We’re excited to share that communication boards have been installed on our Don Gill and Charlotte Lappla Elementary School playgrounds! These boards provide visual communication support, helping students express their wants, needs, ideas, and feelings while playing and connecting with peers. Whether a student communicates through speech, gestures, pictures, or a communication device, these boards help to remove communication barriers and support inclusion and belonging.
We will be running a school security drill at Wellsboro High School on Friday, Sept 18th. This is also a professional development day, and no students will be present. The drill is in conjunction with police and EMS and will last most of the morning. During the drill, visitors will not be allowed to enter the building. Thank you to Mansfield University Police Academy, NPRC, Wellsboro PD, Tioga County EMS, Clearview Asset Protection, and Wellsboro Ambulance for partnering to make this happen!
Miss Lancaster’s 3rd Grade class used Play-Doh to create arrays that matched multiplication equations. They then recorded their equations into their math workbooks. By organizing objects into rows and columns, students can clearly see the relationship between the factors and the product.
Arrays also help students understand strategies such as counting equal groups, repeated addition, skip-counting, and will help them use the properties of multiplication moving forward.
4th grade students learned about and honored the heroes of 9/11 today. Then, they wrote and delivered cards to thank some of the heroes in our community.
This morning, our upper-level French students connected with English learners in France for a fun mystery-location challenge. Using Google Maps, our students asked yes/no questions to narrow down the location of their new friends’ classroom, while the French students worked hard to locate Wellsboro, PA on their maps. Once they asked if we were “near the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon”, we knew they’d be sure to find us with their next question. Eventually we also located them in Saint Pierre sur Dives, a small town in the Normandy region.
Though an ocean separates these two classrooms, language, curiosity, and technology are bringing them closer together. The classes plan to meet monthly via Google Meet to continue sharing cultures. Who knew a classroom could stretch all the way across the Atlantic?

🇺🇸 We Remember 9/11 🇺🇸
Today, our 6th-grade students took time to learn, reflect, and remember.
Students conducted interviews with family members about their memories and experiences surrounding September 11, 2001. They then shared their responses with classmates and discussed the importance of remembering the victims, their families, and the first responders who demonstrated incredible courage and service.
Students also learned about the observances taking place today in New York City, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C.
Through conversations with family and classroom discussions, our students are helping to ensure that the stories and significance of 9/11 are remembered by a new generation.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸
