After learning about the life cycle of a butterfly, Mrs. Wippel’s 2nd graders released their beautiful Monarch. Not only does raising butterflies provide a fun and positive experience for students, but it is also a great teaching tool to learn about biology and nature. Safe travels, Lady Monarch!

At Westfall Elementary, we're focusing on positive behaviors with "Mustang PRIDE." PRIDE stands for Prepared, Respectful Individuals, Determined to Excel. Our students can earn rewards by meeting these positive behavior expectations. They can redeem these rewards for items in our Mustang PRIDE Store or classroom incentives such as treats, homework passes, and preferential seating.
To kick off the first quarter, the Westfall High School Band and Color Guard performed, and six students were chosen from the crowd to play a dice game. When the dice hit the lucky number, the principals had to pucker up and kiss a PIG! Many thanks to the Wippel Farm for allowing us to hang out with their sweet piglet!

Our third-grade classes took advantage of the heat on Tuesday to drive their science instruction! They used the power of the sun to create solar ovens and cooked S’mores outside! They discussed how different colors and materials absorb heat and change the states of matter. The chocolate bar changed from a solid to a liquid in the heat!
Mrs. Woods' second-grade class read the book "The Jelly Donut Difference," which proves that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. They wrote a dozen ways to be kind, decorated donuts, and even enjoyed eating them! What a delicious way to start the day!
