SEE YOU AT THE POLE
It was a special morning to see everyone at the pole!
AHOY, MATEYS!
Last week, our EdRising students went on an oceanic adventure with our friends at WES! 🏴☠️🌊
I SCREAM. YOU SCREAM. WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!
In Mrs. Logsdon's class, after discussing phase changes and how liquids turn to solids, students made homemade vanilla ice cream to see the process in action, and, as you might note, it was a huge success! Exciting!
PRINCIPLES of ENGINEERING
Last week in Mr. Haywood's elective class, students practiced skilled versus unskilled building, using decks of cards and applying basic engineering principles.
HOSPITALITY and TOURISM
Last week, in continuing the student-led cooking series, Miss Brooklyn Clifton showed Mrs. Shannon's class how to make cherry poke cake. The class was so excited, and the reviewers agreed that it was delicious! Way to go, Brooklyn!
APP LAB This week, students in the classes of Mrs. Miruka Williams were exploring App Lab and its available features. Through App Lab, students learned how to make their apps interactive. They also learned how to use images and sounds to make apps more appealing. Congratulations to Huner, Jerry, and Nathan! These young men finished all of the levels in one day (that normally take three days).
HALLOWEEN COSTUME DAY
Spooky Season is upon us! Students will be permitted to wear costumes on Tuesday, October 31. All costumes must adhere to the school dress code.
COLLEAGUE CREDIT
Mr. Doran shares that Macohn has been working non-stop to distribute ChromeBooks, battle tech support issues, locate student login information, train new instructional aides, and prepare the PASS logs and templates for the new school year. She is a champion!
WILDCAT OF THE WEEK
Ms. Katie Williams shares that Joseph recently stopped to help a student who spilled all of their belongings in the hallway. Way to respond quickly and think of someone else, Joseph!
FINDING PATTERNS
Students in the classes of Mrs. Dornon have been working hard to identify patterns. Students are learning this skill through the use of decks of traditional playing cards. It's another great day of awesome learning opportunities at Wurtland Middle School!
HEALTH SCIENCE
Members of Mrs. Dornon's health science class have been hard at work tracking down some dangerous viruses. They have been studying transmission, symptoms, and prevention of viruses. Student groups made unique wanted posters. These viruses are criminal!

SEE YOU AT THE POLE
⚠️⚠️⚠️WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️
CUTENESS OVERLOAD AHEAD
PROCEED WITH CAUTION
EdRising students recently helped our little friends at WES with Dot Day activities. When they were finished making art, students found the comfy chairs and enjoyed a good book (or three) read by a big buddy.
WHAT'S TECH GOT TO DO WITH IT?
Mr. Doran’s English classes integrate technology into their lessons on a daily basis to allow for a variety of teaching and learning modalities to accommodate all learners.
HOSPITALITY and TOURISM
Baileigh Akers, a student in Mrs. Shannon's Hospitality and Tourism class, was the teacher for the day. She taught the class how to make her favorite pizza bread, and the class was excited to report that it was delicious!
SLIME TIME
Today, students in Mrs. Logsdon’s science class made slime, observing the phases of matter changing from liquids to solids. We call this a magical learning experience!
CATS CREATIN' COASTERS
This week, students in our Cats Creations class have been learning to design and make car coasters using an online design program, printer, and heat press. As you can see, they also reflect school spirit! We are so proud of their innovations!
