Sixth grade students have been building background knowledge for their upcoming earthquake project. Over the past few days, they have been working on an Earthquake Circlebook. This project involved selecting six topics—such as Tectonic Earthquakes, Volcanic Earthquakes, Explosion Earthquakes, How a Seismograph Works, Earthquake Facts and Myths, “Drop! Cover! Hold On!”, Famous Earthquakes, or Earthquake Vocabulary—conducting research, and assembling their Circlebook.

Freshman brought the energy today with a “Conformity Line-Up” activity to kick off The Unknown Citizen. Students positioned themselves from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree on a series of bold, thought-provoking statements- then led their own discussions and debates. They challenged their assumptions, questioned each other respectfully, and dug deep into ideas about identity, society, and what it really means to be a “model citizen.”

The following students have completed woodworking projects over the past few weeks:

Cora Lanwehr created a cross decoration for her garage.

Max Birdsong built a coffee table for his family.

Daylon Hendrix constructed a golf bag holder for his father and for his own golf equipment.

Alec VandeVoorde made a table for his room.

All projects were crafted from solid oak and stained in colors selected by the students. Each of these students demonstrated excellent craftsmanship and should be proud of their work.

We were proud to take 17 Wethersfield students to the Building Futures Career Expo at the QCCA Expo Center yesterday. Our students took part in hands-on construction activities, met with industry experts, and learned about high-demand careers in the trades. It was an engaging and exciting day of exploration and real-world learning!

Our art students have been getting their hands messy with ceramics, exploring hand-building techniques and trying their skills on the wheel! Their creations will be available for purchase at the Ceramics Table during the Holly Jolly Festival. We hope you’ll stop by to support their hard work!
