🚒🔥 Our kindergarten students had an exciting morning with a special visit from the Duncan Fire Department! They loved learning about fire safety, exploring the fire truck, and meeting real firefighters. Thank you to the Duncan Fire Department for taking the time to teach our students how to stay safe and for being heroes in our community! ❤️👩🚒
🌲 Mrs. Collins’ 2nd graders are exploring the great outdoors—virtually! 🌎 Students learned all about National Parks and practiced their research skills using Magic School. They used Raina to help answer their questions and discover amazing facts about our country’s most beautiful places. 🏞️✨
💬 Ms. Watson’s friends are starting their day off right — getting ready for school and learning sign language to help with communication! 🧠💙 It’s amazing to see our students building important skills that help them connect, express themselves, and support one another every day. 🤟🐺

Yesterday at recess, some of the 4th grade boys got creative when they didn't have lines to play 4 Square. Way to think outside the box boys! 😁👏

🍎 Apple Week Fun in K4! 🍎
Mrs. Guy’s K4 class had a blast exploring all things apples last week! From learning about the different types of apples 🍏🍎 to tasting sweet and tangy varieties, our little learners were full of curiosity and excitement.
The week ended on a delicious note as students rolled up their sleeves to make homemade applesauce! 🥣 Nothing beats learning + hands-on fun + a tasty treat!

Our students had so much fun at yesterday’s fundraiser reward party! 🎉 They got to pick out and help stuff their very own reading buddy — and the creativity was off the charts! From cat-unicorns to axolotls, our new furry (and scaly!) friends are already rocking their outfits and getting plenty of snuggles. 🐱🦄🐸💖
A huge thank you to all the families and friends who supported our students by donating — your generosity helped make this special day possible! ❤️📚

Welcome back, Officer Wright! 🎉 We’re so glad to have you back with us after a 6-week break recovering from a broken foot. The Wolfpack missed you!
PD days = growth days! 💡✨
Our Wellford Academy teachers spent today’s PD day collaborating with our literacy and math coaches, hearing from our MTSS Coordinator on how to best support students during intervention, and learning new strategies from our Behavior Specialist. Always growing, always learning—because our Wolfpack students deserve the best! 🐾
A touchdown for teamwork! 🏈
❤️ Wednesday our teachers enjoyed a football-themed Chat & Chew thanks to 4th grade! It was the perfect opportunity to catch up with colleagues after getting our school year started.
🌎☀️🌙 Mrs. Schmidt and Mrs. Johnson’s K5 students had a special visit from Ms. Poole with the Watershed Program! Students explored what causes day and night, learned about the changing seasons, and even met Chubbs McGrubb 🐸 while discovering how a tadpole grows into a frog. What an exciting day of hands-on learning! 💡✨
✨📖 Mrs. Benoit’s class has been shining a light on poetry! Students explored how stanzas build on one another and contribute to the overall structure of a poem. We love seeing our Wolfpack writers dig deeper into reading and writing! 🐺❤️🖤
🌟 Project Lead the Way Spotlight 🌟
Our 1st–5th grade students (and teachers!) have been busy exploring STEM in fun and creative ways:
✅ Kicked things off with Growth Mindset lessons, inspired by Kid President, and “built each other up” with positive words and teamwork.
✅ Took on an engineering design challenge to see which team could build the tallest tower sturdy enough to hold… a stick of butter! 🧈
✅ Became scientists while making butter from heavy cream, observing how properties of matter can change from liquid ➡️ solid ➡️ liquid again. Students also connected their discoveries to how butter was made long ago.
✅ And of course, the soundtrack of the week? 🎶 Lots of singing and dancing to “Build Me Up Buttercup” while designing, testing, and laughing together.
Way to go, Wolfpack! 🐾💡 We love seeing our students problem-solve, create, and grow through PLTW!
