Bluebonnet Books

December 2, 2024

Each year, the Texas Libraries Association releases their annual Bluebonnet Book List.  This is a list of fiction and nonfiction books that all students in 3rd-6th grades are encouraged to read.  The committee evaluates hundreds of books each year and picks the 20 best to be included on their list!  At Wieland, we encourage all 3rd-5th grade students to read at least 5 of the Bluebonnet Books.  Mr. Stevenson, Ms. Maria, and Mrs. Prentice try to read as many of the books as they can and love talking to the students about them!  Students are encouraged to track their reading through Beanstack, which can be found in their ClassLink profile.  Please click here to view this year's book choices.  Which one do you want to read first? 

Board Game Fun!

Through a recent initiative led by our assistant principal, Mrs. Gabbert, classroom teachers now have access to a full shelf of board and card games for their students.  This was an important project for Mrs. Gabbert because she knows the value of meaningful play.  There are so many important life skills learned while playing board games- taking turns, being a graceful winner and loser, teamwork, strategy, conflict management, partner conversation, and more!  We are so excited to have these games for our students to learn from.

Our Garden

Through the diligent work of fourth grade teacher Ms. McGarity, our garden is blossoming again!  Our teachers and students go out regularly to take care of the various plants growing there.  Many students have even tasted broccoli and kale taken right off the plant!  We currently have kale, Swiss chard, broccoli, cauliflower, beans, pumpkins, green onions, tomatoes, arugula, and cabbage!  It is such a wonderful thing for our students to experience the full life cycle from seed to vegetable.  Thank you for your hard work, Ms. McGarity!

Camp Read-A-Thon

We are enjoying our two week campus-wide celebration of Literacy called Camp Read-A-Thon!  Students are engaged in both reading and writing activities in their classrooms.  We enjoyed cuddling up with a good book, where students got to wear their pajamas and spend time just reading for enjoyment.  We also had a great Flashlight Friday where all students got a finger flashlight and were given time to enjoy a book with their flashlight.  Thank you to Mrs. Jenny Runkel, our Reading Interventionist, for all of her hard work to make Camp Read-A-Thon possible!!

Wieland celebrated recently with an after school Literacy Night.  Families were invited to come up to the school and enjoy different activities with their students.  Each hallway had a variety of activities, from Boggle with the 2nd grade team, Sentence Expanders with the 4th grade team, and Dictionary Discovery with the 3rd grade team!  There was also a raffle for 6 different literacy themed baskets that were filled with great books and reading materials.
