What a Week!

Well, there were many fun activities taking place at Wellman Elementary this week!  As a fun way to encourage kids to keep reading, Mr. Poock visited every classroom for a half-hour on Tuesday.  Mr. Poock shared some of his 'current reads', along with a special story about a service dog to all of the students.  Bowie also joined Mr. Poock during the reading of this special story as students learned about all the supportive roles of service dogs.  On Wednesday Wellman Elementary hosted a very special Veteran's Day Assembly that provided information about our five branches of military and how each branch serves our country.  After this informational gathering, students joined their Friendship Group to write a letter of thanks to local Veterans.  Lastly this week, the first graders were challenged to 'build' the community of Wellman.  Over the last 3 weeks the first graders have been learning  a lot about different kinds of communities and the characteristics that make them special.  Ask your little one what he/she loves about our community!

Thank you Bowie and Mr. Poock for the great story time!
