At Wesley Prep, we believe that project-based learning ignites young minds. Our annual Night at the Museum is an opportunity for students in Third-Sixth Grade to showcase their latest projects that highlight a diverse set of skills. Third graders designed some Simple Machine games, 4th graders lit up Electric Avenue, 5th graders portrayed historical figures in our "wax museum" and 6th graders collaborated on robotics games!
Students then moved on to coding, as they were tasked with programming Sphero to move in specific directions. One of the unique challenges of working with Sphero is using degrees to control direction. Students had to think critically and consider what they know about angles to guide the robot from point A to point B successfully. The class was excited to see their coding skills come to life, as it took time to get the timing and speed of Sphero just right!
Thank you to all the parents and friends who joined us!
Parents organized classroom parties with crafts, lunch, and, of course, valentines! Our Pre K4 and 1st grade students also had some fun bonding and reading time by partnering up with a buddy.
Thank you to everyone who made this day special!
Happy 100th Day of School, Panthers! Here’s a quick recap of how we celebrated. Thank you to all of the parents who made this day special!
Our Primer students and First Graders dressed up as Centenarians and had some fun getting into character. Our Kindergartners celebrated the importance of zero with a visit from a special guest, Zero the Hero!

This type of hands-on learning builds confidence and independence - encouraging family bonding time at home through age-appropriate tasks (under adult supervision). These students are ready to help you in the kitchen! What's for dinner tonight?

This type of lesson builds skills by teaching about animal adaptations, seasonal changes, and survival strategies! Also, it was great for building vocabulary, critical thinking, creativity through pretend play, and empathy about the needs of animals.
Joyful Learning builds Confidence, Creativity, and Character!

This project combines creative expression (writing, performing, sound) with STEM concepts (light interaction, shadow formation), and historical/cultural appreciation. Joyful Learning equals Confident, Creative Students!

These PreK 4 students participated in a cool STEAM lesson involving snowballs! Each student predicted how many snowballs they thought they could stack and then recorded what they were actually able to do.
This type of activity is great for developing hand-eye coordination, problem-solving, and focus/concentration. It also teaches how to hypothesize, test, make adjustments, and develop critical thinking skills!
Joyful Learning builds Confidence and Curiosity!

Congrats to our Sixth Grade Robotics teams who competed this weekend in the First LEGO League Challenge. All four of our Panther teams performed well - with the "Purple Power Rangers" winning the Rising All-Stars Award and the "Aura Innovators" winning the First Place Core Values Award. We are so proud of our students and their hard work!
Additionally, the "Aura Innovators" will be moving on to compete at Regionals.
This year's theme is "Unearthed" - using creative thinking and LEGO technology, our students were tasked with exploring archaeology. This hands-on STEM program helps students learn science, technology, engineering, math, AND helps to develop critical thinking, coding, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

These toddlers created a "Melted Texas Snowman" today - this cool sensory craft was great for exploring new textures, building fine motor coordination, and expanding their vocabulary. The shaving cream "snow" was fluffy, soft, and sticky fun!
Inspiring Confident, Joyful, and CURIOUS Learners!

Learning Centers Time also includes Teacher Table Time - teachers guide individual learning in small groups, scaffold learning, and provide real-time feedback!

This type of lesson is not only creative, but it also helps develop critical thinking (figuring out how to build and manipulate objects). It also enhances spatial awareness, by strengthening the understanding of form, perspective, and spatial relationships.
