Put on your thinking cap at Westview!

Many thanks to the students and staff who participated in our recent Spirit Day with the theme of "Put On Your Thinking Cap!"  

In addition to simply being fun, we used the opportunity to review the steps of problem solving rather than making impulsive choices: 

  1. Stop
  2. Think
  3. Act

Hats off to the entire Westview School Community for showing off your problem-solving spirit!

Westview School Presents Autobiographical Poetry in 4th Grade

We are so proud of our 4th grade students for recently performing their autobiographical poems at their classroom "Poetry Slam" sessions!  Students applied their simile and metaphor lessons in writing poetry.  This activity helped them learn more about each other as well as how to use figurative language.  They even snapped their fingers for one another afterward!
