Our Kindergarten classes experienced an exciting "in-house" field trip today! A scientist from High Touch High Tech of Dallas helped conduct experiments related to weather and climate! From atmospheric pressure to thunderstorms and tornadoes, these students are ready to be mini-meteorologists next!

Our Wesley Prep Nursery Babies have been busy this week with fun activities and sensory play. Playing with ice stimulates the senses, including touch, sight, hearing, and (sometimes!) taste!

The Pre-Auction Parent Party was a blast! Thanks to The Royal Beat Downs for providing such fun music. It was a great event in support of the Spring Fundraiser. See you at "A Night of Illusion" on Saturday, March 2nd!

We are going to spotlight Third Grade - starting with a WP tradition: The Haiku Hike. Stepping out of the classroom, these students were inspired by nature. Their Haiku poems were thoughtful and their words were beautiful. Very impressive work!

Wesley Prep Toddlers had fun "painting" with ice today! This sensory activity was a cool way to practice fine motor skills and experience what happens to an ice cube as it melts. Some little penguins helped by skating across the ice to create the beautiful artwork.

Wesley Prep Toddlers were very busy this morning playing in the "snow" - this sensory activity was a perfect way to practice fine motor skills, creativity, and imagination! The snow was cold and fluffy to touch and it was fun to shovel and scoop into different containers.

Mrs. Lane's PreK 3s class learned how to make the perfect cup of hot cocoa! How do you like your cocoa? How may marshmallows do you want? With or without whipped cream? Whichever way you like it, it is perfect for you!

Elementary Donuts with Dads was a super fun event this morning - the room was packed full of Dads, Students, and SUGAR! Thank you to the Dad's Club for supplying so many yummy donuts. We hope to see all the Dads at the upcoming Parent Pre-Auction Party and the Dad's Club BBQ.

WP Fourth Graders taught robots how to ski this week! The robot is called a Sphero and it uses degrees for directional coding. Students can add lights and sounds to the programming and control the speed and rolling time. STEM lessons in the Innovation Lab are fun and cool! #WeAreWP #wesleyprep #InnovationLab #STEM #HandsOnLearning #SpheroRobots #Enrichment
Our Third Graders took an adventure across the globe - presenting the results of an in-depth research project which delved into the culture, history, language, cuisine, and geography of countries around the world. Each student took their new-found knowledge and presented it to their classmates in the form of a beautiful travel brochure. Joyful Learning creates Confident Students!

Mrs. Fahrenbrook stepped in for Mister Bruce this morning to lead us in Elementary Chapel. The focus this week is "Perseverance" - she shared an inspiring story about a famous WWI racing pigeon who saved 200 men by delivering an important message. This amazing pigeon's name was Cher Ami - a perfect example of bravery and perseverance!

Our PreK 3s classes have been busy learning all about the cold weather - including snowflakes, snowmen, snow, and animals that live in arctic climates! The students celebrated this lesson with "Hibernation Day" (pretending to hibernate and huddle together in a cave with their special stuffed animal friends)! Science is Fun!

Do you want to melt a Snowman? Our PreK 4s students participated in a hands-on science lesson about the 3 forms of water (solid, liquid and gas). They built a snowman out of ice and then watched him melt away! Students talked about what would cause him to melt and then what would happen to the water once he was completely melted. So fun!!!

Mrs. Taylor's PreK 4s class has been studying arctic animals and hibernation. To experience the warmth of blubber, students were invited to put one hand in a bowl of ice water, and the other in a sleeve of blubber and ice water to compare! (The blubber is Crisco.) Polar bears are built for the weather much better than we are. Brrr!
#WeAreWP #wesleyprep #PreschoolScience #HandsOnLearning
Do you want to build a snowman? Wesley Prep Toddlers created a cool snowman with shaving cream. It was a great hands-on activity that was perfect for practicing hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, creativity, and sensory play! And it was fun and messy too!

The students in Mrs. Rogers' PreK 2.5s class had a Teddy Bear Picnic this week! They introduced their friends (including bears, dogs, and unicorns). The children spoke about how their animal is unique - including their name, how they feel, what color their fur is, etc. The picnic included a story and homemade biscuits with yummy honey. There was also a tent shaped like a bear. It was a special day!

Inspired by their recent lesson on "A Christmas Carol" - Wesley Prep Fifth Graders have been hard at work making a whimsical art project! The students are crafting individual homes based on the wintry, Christmas village in the Charles Dickens novel. "God bless us, every one!"
