Spring Music Concert

What a fun night we had at the Wellman Elementary Spring Concert.  Students did a great job of sharing their songs for all to enjoy!!  It was definitely a great way to 'Sing Your Way Home at the End of the Day!' Thank you again for your support of our Music department. 

Bucket Filling at WE!

At WE, we are working together to 'fill buckets'!  This terminology may be new to your ear or you might have heard your first grader sharing bucket filling words with you.  School-wide, students are working together to build one another up through kind words, acts of kindness or lending a helping hand.  Through the story, Have You Filled a Bucket Today?, students have learned that each of us walks around with an invisible 'bucket' that can either be 'filled' or 'dipped into' on a daily basis.  In first grade, we have focused our class meeting discussions on how we can 'fill' others buckets and avoid 'dipping' into buckets.  Our building is 'filled' with great 'bucket' decor as well!  Ask your first grader how he/she filled someone's bucket today!:)

Reading Fun with Dr. Seuss!

Wellman Elementary Firsties have enjoyed some serious literacy fun this week in honor of reading week! A big thanks to the many staff members, PTO members, and Wellman Elementary families who worked extra hard to make this week a huge success! We have so enjoyed the truffula trees lining the halls, as well as the many special activities sprinkled throughout the week. Following are a few photos of some of our highlights from our reading celebration!
