Washington October Update

The Pop-Up Alphabet Museum in Mrs.Kuhlow's Kindergarten classroom was well-attended by both families and Washington staff. Students opened the museum by demonstrating their letter name and letter sound knowledge, followed by sharing the items they collected to represent each of the 26 letters of the alphabet. Interactive alphabet games were placed throughout the classroom to keep everyone engaged during their visit.

Washington families attended the Science of Reading Night on October 16. They learned more about what SOR is all about, saw some lessons in action and then enjoyed a community meal to wrap-up the evening. Thank you to our families who attended and our staff who shared their knowledge of literacy with everyone.

Members of the WHS Lady Whippets girls basketball team and Head Coach Mike Dowden visited Washington during lunch time to meet with 3-5 grade girls interested in learning more about youth basketball. Coach Dowden and the Lady Whippets (former Washington Golden Eagles-Katie, Aidyn, and Calli) shared information about upcoming practice sessions and youth basketball team info along with practicing various basketball skills with students.
