TEAM BUILDING SPOOKTACULAR
During today's special education Professional Learning Community (PLC) meeting, team members had to collaborate to solve a Halloween-themed mystery. Ms. Alex Young worked hard to organize this activity, and it was a fun experience for everyone in the meeting! Mrs. Ciera Vanover quickly found the clue to solve the case, and the team even tagged in Officer Elliott Gollihue for some help.
We are continually working to learn and grow together at Wurtland Middle School!
INDUSTRIAL ARTS
Students in Mr. Bowling's class have one final bookshelf for sale. The shelf measures three-feet wide and five-feet tall. Please comment if you would like to purchase this final remaining shelf for $100.00, and we will be in touch with you.
Thank you so much!
LITERACY CENTERS FICTION REVIEW
Seventh-grade English students are currently reviewing for a unit test focused on examining fiction through literacy centers. Students are completing a digital escape room, playing SMART Board games, playing card games, and working on interactive bulletin boards. This learning looks so fun!
EDRISING ON THE MOVE
Our EdRising students have been out and about lately. Students served as chaperones for the Wurtland Elementary School (WES) Old Fashioned Days field trip. Our kindergarten and preschool friends were glad to have the older kids tag along for all the fun.
Also, a group of student helpers joined the second-grade students at WES for their trip to Noble Family Farms. Some of these young ladies are in their third year of EdRising and got to reconnect with WES students they have worked with previously in kindergarten and first grade.
Mr. Baldridge and Mrs. Loos both made a point to find Ms. Katie Williams, the EdRising adviser, and brag on this crew!
We're proud of our Wildcats!

SPOOKY SEASON BULLETIN BOARDS
In an effort to make our building look a little extra spooky, our EdRising students have been hard at work on Halloween bulletin boards. We're proud of the finished products! Great job, students!
PROJECT-BASED LEARNING Sixth-grade mathematics students applied their knowledge of decimals to the exploration of the feasibility of running a video game truck business. Once finished, students were tasked with designing their own video game trucks that had to move six inches when they put some air behind them. It was much harder than they expected and several adjustments were made! Overall, this looks like a fun and engaging project-based learning experience!
