Each week Golden PAWS are awarded to a student in each grade for going above and beyond and that exemplifies the quality of the month. In March we are focusing on Positivity. The students were rewarded with a medal, a prize, and due to a partnership with the Elmwood Park Zoo two free admission tickets to the zoo. Congratulations to our winners and a special thank you to the Elmwood Park Zoo.

Students in Ms. Hohenstein's class completed projects on famous figures in Black History.

In library class, our kindergarten students read Freight Train by Donald Crews, a Caldecott Honor Book known for its bold, colorful illustrations and simple text. As we followed the train on its journey through the countryside, we identified the brightly colored cars — like the orange tank car, green cattle car, and red caboose — and learned their names.

To extend our learning, we built our own train track and became engineers! Using coding skills, we programmed our “Steam Engine” to stop and go at different points along the track. Students practiced sequencing, problem-solving, and teamwork as they tested and adjusted their code.

This activity helped us connect literacy, colors, transportation, and early coding concepts in a creative and engaging way!

Good Afternoon Whitehall Families, Reminder that Whitehall will be closed on Monday, February 16th and Tuesday, February 17th for President's Day and Lunar New Year. We will see you all on Wednesday! Have a great weekend!
