Woodlawn Elementary PTA hosted Turkey Bingo on November 18th! Wildcats were able to join in the fun and win some amazing prizes.

Students in Grade 3 are learning about water ecology. Today in science lab, we went outside to explore where water goes when it rains. Students were able to see how some water is absorbed into the earth and some water flows downstream as runoff. Next, we will explore how pollution is carried by water from one place to another.

Woodlawn first graders learned and watched how to put up a tent and then got to go inside and play for a few minutes. In our UFLI curriculum there are several decodable readers that are about tents or camping. We took a poll in our Walk to Reading intervention block and found out that not many students had experience with a tent yet. So, we brought reading to life during recess!

Woodlawn Elementary was honored to have our Veterans celebrate Veterans Day with us! Woodlawn Veterans led the Pledge of Allegiance with their students and marched in our Parade of Veterans. We also had a special performance by the Woodlawn Chorus. Thank you to all Veterans for serving our nation!

First Graders started their fall science unit by looking at leaves, their colors and shapes and then doing leaf rubbings. Everyone enjoyed exploring how some leaves change their colors and why.

Reading by third grade is also one of the measures of Goal 3 (Academic Growth and Excellence) in the FCPS 2023-30 strategic plan. Learn how Woodlawn Elementary School is undertaking this work.

Woodlawn students released their butterflies this week! Caterpillars were harvested from our garden and dutifully cared for until their flying hour arrived. Have a safe journey Monarchs and Question Mark butterflies!

Happy #HispanicHeritageMonth! From September 15 to October 15 we recognize and celebrate the histories, cultures, and contributions of the members of our community whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. We asked some Wildcats to tell us their favorite Hispanic food!
