#wilsonsd Wilson Elementary Reading Olympics 2024

Boredom with an effect size of -0.46 is a year's worth of learning gone. Students cite causes of boredom (an overuse of PowerPoint slides; tasks of low challenge; or when asked to remain passive and listen to others, etc) Learners want more designed learning. Less teaching.

First-grade students are learning how to be "word detectives" so they read longer words in their books! #wilsonsd

Thanks to meteorologist @TJSpringerWX for meeting with our 4th-grade students today to share your knowledge and help them with their extreme weather research reports! #wilsonsd @AlbrightTExpL

What does an 84% average in a gradebook tell you about a learners' learning? What about a 98%? A 67%? Really want to know. Not asking for a friend.

4th graders are thinking like scientists as they launch into their nonfiction reading unit about extreme weather! #wilsonsd @AlbrightTExpL

5th grade book clubs are in full swing! #wilsonsd #tcrwp

When adults continue to learn at their jobs, research shows they're better at creating that experience for others. So if schools are going to be places where students test theories and learn from mistakes, those qualities must be present in their teachers. kqed.org/mindshift/5475…

3rd grade students are immersed in learning and exploration! #wilsonsd @JRSLynch @MrsPeterson231 @AlbrightTExpL

Thanks to @JediMoreland for all you do! ❤️

Over 200 fourth and fifth graders participated in the 2023 Wilson Elementary Reading Olympics tonight! #wilsonsd It is great to be a Bulldog!

2nd graders are developing deeper reading comprehension by noticing when they have reactions to something that happens in their books! #tcrwp

Wilson Pride was the theme of the last Building Bulldogs PreK event…these kiddos are ready to have some fun in Kindergarten! #wilsonsd

#rendellcenteryouthtownhall Mr. Votodian’s 4th grade class was chosen to participate in a town hall meeting with Governor Shapiro! They asked tough questions and can hopefully follow up with a letter to the governor. #wilsonsd

7th graders collaborated with teams to work through challenges in reading class. It is always fun when hard work is rewarded with a surprise treat! #wilsonsd

What a perfect way to spend a Friday… 3rd grade students participated in a “learn in the wild” day with community volunteers. Thanks to @MrsPeterson231 for organizing the event! #wilsonsd

What a cool experience that Ms. Irwin and her high school students created for these 3rd grade students! The classes collaborated to read and learn about nature this year and today Red Creek Wildlife center came to teach them about birds of prey! #wilsonsd

I had so much fun teaching a recess game to these Whitfield Kindergarten kiddos! I can’t wait to read the “how-to” guides they are going to write. #wilsonsd #tcrwp @MadelineBohr

Countdown to Kindergarten is on… these future Bulldogs are having so much fun learning new skills and meeting new friends. Building Bulldogs 2023! #wilsonsd @WilsonSchlDist
