Welcome back! I know it's hard to believe, but math is all around us. This year I hope to show you how it can relate to your everyday life and also how learning math can improve your problem solving skills and critical thinking. We will focus on many types of mathematical equations and how they relate to topics in geometry.

Hi Team 82. I am excited for the start of this school year and looking forward to meeting all of you. This is my 13th year teaching at WMS and my 19th year as an ELA teacher. We will be reading a variety of texts this year and I am hoping to spark your interest in a new author or genre you have not read before.

¡Hola a todos! I can't wait to meet you! I have taught all grades and levels of Spanish in lots of places around the globe and have found my home here at WMS.  Learning Spanish will help you communicate with others, give you new perspectives on the world AND make you smarter. 

¡Sí, tú puedes!

Hello Team 8-2! I am so excited to get to know everyone!  This year we will be studying Civics.  We will begin the year by discussing the role of government, why governments exist, and where the concept of individual rights came from.   

This year we will also look at Supreme Court cases,  efforts by the people to change government policies, and so much more!

Welcome back, "Team 8-2ers!"  So excited that we'll be spending the year together exploring fascinating science topics like force & motion and genetics & heredity! We'll start with the engineering process and astronomy!  Looking forward to doing lots of hands-on, minds-on explorations together!
