Mrs. Tocohua's preschool class has been learning about healthy eating habits and the food pyramid this week. On Monday the students created meal trays and spoke about what foods they had. We took this time to talk about healthy and unhealthy foods. On Wednesday we explored the food pyramid and on Thursday we talked about how we should combine each category in our meals to receive the most benefit. The students ended the week by presenting a category of the food pyramid. We had a yummy learning adventure!

The JH Social Studies class hosted a small mock trial play this Tuesday called “The Mock Trial of the Three Little Pigs”, followed by a surprise gift for Mrs. Casey, the JH Social Studies teacher. The play followed a comedic court trial with the pigs and the wolf, who had burned his feet while climbing down their chimney and sued the three pigs for his injuries.

Eighteen Western Plains Junior High and High School students attended the comedic musical, "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder," on Saturday, October 7th, at Felton Start Theatre on the Fort Hays State University campus. FHSU kept up the fine tradition of excellence in the theatre arts, celebrating more than 50 years of performances at Felton Start Theatre. Students were able to experience many of the arts at this production: singing, acting, orchestra performance, costume design, set design, and lighting. They enjoyed a black comedy with a surprise ending (which actually made them gasp), as well as superb acting and singing. A fun time was had by all!
The students were sponsored by Denice Flax (Music Director), Cheryl Rein (WP South Teacher), and Nayeli Gomez (WP South School Secretary). Mrs. Flax would like to thank Mrs. Rein and Mrs. Gomez for their time and help, as well as their constant support of the WP Music Program!

Miss Tiffany's North & South STEM classes have been busy learning exciting things this year.
K-3 are learning about healthy habits. They have learned the proper way to brush and floss their teeth, wash their hands and to keep from spreading germs, how to pick healthy foods and snacks, and interesting facts about eyes. They are rounding out their modules by creating Healthy Habit Story books.
4th and 5th grades have been learning about DNA, genetics, and heredity. They have created DNA models out of pipe cleaners, extracted DNA from strawberries, interviewed family members about genetic traits, how to fill out Punnett squares, and will be ending their module by learning about fingerprints.
Junior High has been busy learning about all types of energy. They are learning how energy works, how we can conserve energy, and whether it is renewable or not. They are currently creating Penguin Habitats where they have to build the habitat to keep a Penguin shaped ice cube from melting under a heat lamp.
Mrs. Tocohua's preschool class has been learning about body parts (hand, foot, nose, ears, eyes) this week. Today they finished the week by tracing their bodies.
