Giving Back the Westwood Way

On Thursday many of our Westwood families came out in full force to pack boxes for Christmas Clearinghouse. This is such an honored tradition at Westwood.  Thank you so much for taking your time to help out again this year.

A Westwood Holiday Tradition

The holiday season has officially arrived at Westwood.  :)  This morning we enjoyed winter stories by the fireplace with our principal.  :)  Mr. Ross shared with the students that one of the best gifts you can give is your time.  Such an important reminder for us all during this busy time.  I hope you and your family are able to spend some special moment together this season.  Happy Holidays.  :)

It's Party Time!

Our committees have been working very hard to plan a great winter celebration for our class.  Our party will be on Tuesday, December 20th.  Please click on the link below and choose 1 item that you would be willing to bring in for the party.  Type your code next to the item that you would like to bring in.  Thanks in advance!

Playing Cards Needed

This past week I attended a great conference where I learned all sorts of card games we could play in the classroom to help the students practice their math skills.  If you have an extra deck of playing cards that your family doesn't need, and you would be willing to donate it to our classroom, please send it in Monday or Tuesday.  Thank you so much for your help and support.

Art Discovery

This week's Art Discovery lesson was all about creating your own unique self-portrait.  Can you find your child? The kids did a fantastic job applying the skills from the lesson this week.  After you are done enjoying our students' artistic abilities, check out a different kind of self-portrait in this video.

Ready for some Winter Fun?

The first snowfall of the season is always a magical time as we all rush to the window to enjoy the big, beautiful flakes falling from the sky.  Now it time to make some snowflakes of our own.  :)  Click on the link below to head to the Snowflake Workshop.  There you will be able to click on the virtual pencil to design your own unique snowflake.  Once you have cut it out using your virtual scissors, click "share".  You will be given an option to send your virtual snowflake as a virtual greeting card.  You can skip this step and then they will give you a "code" for your unique snowflake.  If you post that below we can all see your creations!  :)  Have fun, and happy creating!
