Elementary School News By Lori Lindau Home Depot Workshop On Wednesday, January 11th, two employees from the Lake Geneva Home Depot came to WSD. They provided a hands-on workshop for the elementary students. Students were given an orange apron and got to choose from a variety of construction projects. Students followed printed directions, measured pieces, and hammered nails. As soon as students finished their projects, they wanted to start another. The workshop was a great success.

Leap Year Wednesday, February 29th students gathered to learn about Leap Year. First, they enjoyed a frog story signed by ASL specialist, Joel Mankowski. Mrs. Armato explained the concept of “every four years”. Next, everyone headed to the Round Room to learn how to play Leap Frog. Leaping while laughing was great fun! We concluded Leap Day with delicious frog cookies handmade by the ladies in the cafeteria. Ribbit! Learning the leap frog game. Leaping the line. Spring 2012 - 3
