One of our favorite Westfield traditions is second grade’s reading of a children’s literature classic, Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White. They celebrated reading the book with a Fall Carnival celebration, dressing up as their favorite characters - Fern, Templeton, the Zuckermans, Wilburn, and Charlotte, of course! Such a sweet and special way to encourage friendship! #Westfieldsecondgrade #Westfieldtraditions #reading #friendship #educationofmindandheart

Students in Mrs. Stephanie Black's 6th grade math class worked in "surgical" teams, performing their order of operations correctly for their "patients' surgeries" to be successful! #makingmathfun #collaborativelearning #interactivelearning #OrderOfOperations #westfieldsixthgrade #educationofmindandheart

Upper School students in Ms. Ashley Bentley's Honors Biology class conducted a diffusion lab to determine whether or not substances are able to diffuse through a cell membrane. The students used a plastic bag to model a semi-permeable membrane and processed solutions of water, iodine, and corn starch to view diffusion and record data. #handsonlearning #biologylab #westfieldscience #educationofmindandheart

Art I students in Mrs. DJ Blalock’s class are creating monochromatic self-portraits with paint. The students took a posterized photo of themselves, chose a color, and then created tints and shades from that color to complete the image. We think these are pretty neat! #westfieldart #educationofmindandheart

Seventh graders in Mrs. Lauren Mann’s choral music class are putting pencil to paper today.

Thank you to our Praise Band for starting our morning off in song and worship and to Reverend Tom Carruth, senior pastor of Perry Methodist Church, for speaking to our Middle and Upper School students at this week's assembly. Sharing from Acts 17, he encouraged students to be true believers, knowing God deeply as their one true living God. We are grateful for these opportunities for our students to hear God's Word from pastors in our community. #WednesdayWisdom #educationofmindandheart
