West Holt Public Schools

Playing hard and resting hard! 🤗😴 . Our Pre-K'ers have had a busy first few days adjusting to school! ❤️ We are rocking getting into a routine and working hard on our social emotional skills through free play!

During the first week of school, our 4th graders took on the “Saving Fred” challenge!

Fred, represented by a gummy worm, was enjoying a boat ride when his boat tipped over. Unfortunately, his life preserver, represented by a gummy Life Saver, was trapped underneath the overturned boat!

Students had to work together to rescue Fred and get him safely back into his life preserver, but there was a catch! They were not allowed to use their hands. Using only the paper clips provided, students had to communicate, problem solve, and think creatively to complete the challenge.

Lots of laughs, creative thinking, and great teamwork made this the perfect activity to kick off our school year!

Mrs. Kraus's students classified real numbers with a rice cereal treat model. Most of them were excited to get to eat the numbers higher on the tower because, even though they were part of a smaller layer, they are also a part of the layers under them!

Congratulations to the winners of the GBB fundraiser Raffle!

Mr. DM Forker spoke to the XC team about taking three attempts to complete his first 100 mile ultramarathon. He used that quote during his journey and the kids really liked it.
