WMS Electives '24-25

March 2025 - Part 1

Design Tech

Mr Watanabe.

6th Grade- Skimmers to end the quarter. Students were given a base skimmer to start with and were allowed to adjust and modify to see how far they could get it to go.

7th Grade- Students got their rockets ready for flight. Students could pick whatever design and size for their fins to see which one did better. The only hard part was that not everyone's rocket was the same length.

8th-Students finished up their Paper towel holders and began working on their clocks. After completing both, students get to take home their hard work.

Family Consumer Science & Health

Students in Home Economics ended 3rd quarter with the long awaited cooking unit! Students made rice krispy treats, chocolate cupcakes (without eggs!!), garlic cheddar biscuits and spaghetti with marinara sauce.

Teen Health learned about different methods of refusal when faced with peer pressure. They really got into acting out the different methods!

Physical Education

Mr. Yap

Chorus

As students are still working towards our spring concert, which will be "Mostly 80's Music," students have been differentiating between what it's like to sing classical style music and pop style music. They are learning to use both a head voice and a chest voice, for classical singing and pop singing respectively. A head voice is a lighter sound focused more in the front of the skull. This may be why 8th grader Jaleeyah Bennett says "Classical music is sang higher than pop songs are. And I prefer pop." 6th grader Opal Price has a different opinion. She says, "The biggest difference is the mood and how soft or loud the music is. Personally, I love both a lot, but classical songs are nice and pretty to me."

Agriculture Tech

Ms. Pilato

March in Ag. Tech was full of growth and independent exploration. Students worked towards finishing the quarter and creating their own blueprints for agricultural technology. Students also designed their own gardens using a virtual landscaping software.

Learning Lab - Math

Mrs. Tadaki

The students in the Math Learning Lab finished 3rd Quarter off strong! They demonstrated awesome mathematical thinking in the areas of numbers & operations, algebra, and measurement & data. The photos show how the students are able to express their understanding in multiple ways with an emphasis on connecting visual representations with the numbers. They also engaged in math games to build their number sense and fluency while having fun with their classmates.
