Capitol Building Tour
Korean War Memorial
Vietnam War Memorial
Lincoln Memorial

Until next time, DC!

All fourth-grade students will be offered a free white pine to take home today and plant. For over forty years the Wisconsin DNR has made a free Arbor Day tree seedling available to every fourth-grade student in the state. Every year, thousands of classrooms take advantage of receiving these small, bare-root seedlings that are grown at a state nursery. Our state does this to teach children about the importance of trees as a renewable resource. Happy Arbor Day Wildcats! 🌲

Walworth's 7th grade students attended an expo at Gateway Technical College. They were given opportunities to tour multiple areas of the college to learn about different career opportunities. This aligns with our school's implementation of ACP (Academic and Career Planning) program. Students are encouraged to explore more about their interests, learn about career possibilities, post-high school education. We learned about a variety of careers in IT, manufacturing, health sciences, and public safety. It's never too early to start thinking about your future!

Mrs. Wenzel's class really enjoyed our CKLA Knowledge Unit on Early World Civilizations where we learned about Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. We ended the unit by drawing the Pyramids of Giza, making Pharoah hats and even dancing to Walk Like an Egyptian. The students love learning about history. Onto our next unit about Early American Civilization where we will be learning about The Maya, Aztec, and Inca Civilizations.
