Ninth Grade Team

Thank you so much to the ninth grade team for all your support during this week!  From giving me advice about specific students, bringing everyone breakfast, establishing rules for our school...you have been amazing.  Also, Wendy thank you for making my day today and showing me the new Mac lab that I can now use to download software...you have gone out of your way to be our Tech Super Hero.

City Year Appreciates WLA support!

Yesterday during lunch City Year invited WLA to participate in our first EWI (early warning indicator) meeting. We at CY so very, very much appreciate everyone from Leadership who attended for taking the time to discuss our students so that we can best support them! Thank you all for your support and collaboration!

Science Success!

 Hi WLA Staff!

I have taught a couple of really fun science experiments that the kids loved!  Today we modeled rock abrasion in fast moving water by vigorously shaking rock chips in water bottles with a small amount of water.  The students learned about how sediment comes from the bits and pieces of rock that is broken off and carried away by the water.  Check out some of our budding young scientists below!

Ziraily is an abrasion causing machine as she shakes the bottle of water and rock chips.

6th grade science in action!  Doesn't Luis look chill?

The ultimate scientist.

The ninth grade teachers rock as they are always willing to help me.  I know that my other first year teachers do not enjoy the support I have found here at WLA. 

Shout Out to Karin!

I would like to thank and recognize Karin for always being supportive and a great team member.  You helped me when I hurt my ankle the other week and have continued to be a great listener.  Thanks so much!!!

Thanks to WLA Staff for being such a great team! I feel blessed. We rock!

6th Grade Field Trip

Yesterday, the 6th grade took a field trip to see Cleo Parker Robinson at Colorado Heights! Thank you Sheri for making all the arrangements, organizing the busses and ensuring that we had a wonderful opportunity for our students! Thank you to the 6th grade team and the intensive teachers for making sure that all of the excursion forms were secured. The trip was a great success, Sheri is now trying to arrange a visit to West from Cleo Parker Robinson.
