Ms. Overton's 1st graders are learning story elements. As they're read aloud to, they can identify the story's setting- where it takes place- the characters- who the story is about- the plot- what's happening in the story- and beyond! What a great start to our celebration of Literacy Month!
UPDATE: The Wilkinson County Board of Education meeting scheduled for Tuesday, September 8, has been rescheduled for Tuesday, September 15. The meeting will be held at the same location and livestreamed beginning at 6:00 p.m. Please update your calendars!

📚 The WCES Fall Book Fair starts tomorrow through Friday, September 4, and our entire community can help make it a success!
Families can preview available books and set up an eWallet, the easiest way for students to shop. Cash, cards, and checks payable to WCES will also be accepted.
Want to support another young reader? Through Share the Fair, families and community members can contribute funds to help students who may need assistance purchasing books.
Every Book Fair purchase will also move WCES closer to its $6,000 goal of purchasing a book vending machine for the campus. Whether you shop or give, your support helps put more books into our students' hands!

Using manipulatives, students demonstrated and explained that the two digits of a 2-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. With the problems in their hands and on their papers, they quickly began to understand the difference between the tens and ones columns! Great work, 1st grade!

Sometimes students notice warning signs before adults do. Knowing what to look for can make a difference.
A concerning social media post. A threat. Bullying or harassment. Someone talking about hurting themselves or someone else. Or simply a situation that doesn’t feel right.
Through Sandy Hook Promise’s Say Something program, students learn three important steps: recognize the warning signs, take them seriously, and say something.
Speaking up isn’t about getting someone in trouble. It’s about getting someone help. 💛

In the back of the class, Snoop Froggy, their class pet, has a different kind of skin and eats differently from these boys and girls, which makes them different! But he does have two eyes and two legs!
As part of this initiative, we will soon launch the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System across our schools. This program empowers students to recognize warning signs, speak up, and help create a culture where everyone looks out for one another.
Parents and guardians, please be on the lookout for a letter coming home with your student that will provide additional information about the program. As we begin implementation, our counselors and school administrators will also provide students with guided lessons to help them understand how the system works and when and how to use it. We appreciate your continued support in keeping our schools safe, welcoming, and supportive for every student.

Over in kindergarten, Mrs. Simmons' students are becoming experts in number recognition with tracing and writing, following 2-step verbal instructions, and an additional lesson on cheering for their peers! Eager smiles and raised hands equal a wonderful day of learning and participation!
