Each week we want to spotlight the amazing WG staff and the incredible things that are going on in our classrooms. Our spotlight will feature our staff showcasing the PISD Instructional Observation Points of Frequent Student Discourse, Meaningful Student Engagement, Effective Inquiry and Questioning, Constructive Feedback and Appropriate Use of Technology. Please check out the section below to see just a few examples. GO CATS!

Ms. Dunn's AP Language and Composition class is learning to write nuanced thesis statements using paint color swatches. Students are researching a topic of interest to them and identifying a "pro," a "con," and possible ways that the two opposing arguments could either share similarities or could understand the opposing argument. Then, students write a counter-argument thesis statement to tie everything together before beginning their argument essay.

Ms. Dunn's AP Language and Composition classes are practicing their argument skills using the most and least popular Halloween candies.

The hallway display shown below includes Spanish 2 and Spanish 3 students' work in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated September 15 - October 15 and is a month to recognize and honor the significant contributions Hispanic/Latino Americans have made in the United States. Hispanic Heritage Month does not cover one single month but instead begins in the middle of September and ends in the middle of October. In the wall display, there are student-created flags for Spanish-speaking countries as well as features and biographies of famous Spanish speakers from around the world!

Students in Ms. Dichiara's Spanish classes have had fun playing with learning. Spanish 2 (video 1 & video 2) played The Clothes Game to remember and challenge each other with new vocabulary. Spanish 1 (video) played "Spoons" but with verbs rather than cards. Check out the linked videos to see it in action!

Students simulated the structure of the Earth's mantle in Coach Shelton's class.

Check out the newsletter for the Library and Innovation Lab at WGHS! The L.A.I.R. is a great space for students to explore their creativity while showing what they've learned in class.

Avery Wilson, Kyra Sauter, and Kajsa Brinkerhoff all were elected to the Water Polo Academic All-State Team. This is an incredible honor and I know they will have more coming in once THSCA and other organizations post their lists. We also had one of our boys, Anthony Aguilar, named a USA Water Polo Academic All-American. This comes right after 27 of our 30 athletes made the Academic All-District Team.
