🌸🦋 WCC Bear Necessities After-School Program Spring Theme Day – Butterflies 🐻
Our students recently enjoyed a fun and engaging Spring Theme Day – Butterflies, where learning came to life across reading, math, art, and science. Through hands-on activities and meaningful lessons, students explored the beauty of spring while building academic skills and discovering how growth and transformation happen in nature and in themselves.
📚 Literacy:
Students read the book Gotta Go! Gotta Go! by Sam Swope, a lively story about a caterpillar’s journey and the changes it experiences as it grows. This story helped students understand the butterfly life cycle while reinforcing sequencing, listening, and comprehension skills.
➕ Math:
During our Symmetry Activity, students practiced identifying and drawing lines of symmetry in two-dimensional shapes.
🎨 Art:
Students created a Moving Caterpillar using paper folding, cutting, and design techniques. This activity encouraged creativity, fine motor development, and perseverance as students worked carefully to design caterpillars that appeared to move.
🔬 Science:
In our Coffee Filter Butterflies experiment, students explored capillary action and chromatography, observing how water moves through fibers and separates colors in marker ink. This hands-on investigation helped students see how science works in real life while sparking curiosity and wonder.
Through Butterfly Theme Day, students learned important life lessons including:
🦋 Growth and change take time
🦋 Patience and perseverance lead to success
🦋 Creativity and teamwork make learning fun
🦋 Curiosity helps us discover new things
🦋 Every small step can lead to something beautiful

🎯📚 8th Grade English – WCC Middle School 🐻
During our Rhetorical Appeals Advertisement Activity, students actively analyzed real advertisements using ethos, pathos, and logos at varying levels of depth. Some students focused on identifying the appeals with supporting evidence, others explored how and why the appeals were used, and our advanced learners justified their thinking by analyzing the impact these techniques have on the viewer.
The result? 100% engagement, intentional differentiation, and meaningful learning as students moved beyond simply identifying rhetorical appeals to truly understanding how persuasion works in the real world.
We are proud of our students for demonstrating strong critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills while engaging in authentic, standards-based learning.
🐻 At WCC Middle School, our students are not just learning concepts—they are learning to think, analyze, and apply their knowledge with confidence.

During our Argument Trace Sort Activity, 7th graders worked with claims, evidence, counterclaims, and rebuttals at different levels of depth. Some students focused on sorting and explaining their reasoning with guided support, building the key language and patterns needed to identify each part of an argument. Others began independently recognizing those patterns and using them to justify their thinking.
Our advanced students took it even further—connecting claims to supporting evidence, linking counterclaims to rebuttals, and analyzing how these pieces work together to strengthen an argument.
The result? 100% engagement, intentional differentiation, and meaningful learning as students developed stronger critical thinking and a deeper understanding of how effective arguments are structured and supported.
🐻 At WCC Middle School, our students are learning to think critically, communicate clearly, and support their ideas with confidence.

21st Century Bear Necessities Announcement
WCC’s Youth Shooting Sports team competed at the North Regional tournament this weekend. The Junior team shot yesterday. Not pictured here, but they displayed grit and determination through the wind and rain.
The Senior team shot against 133 other squads in the region today. One of our 3 squads finished in 6th place, breaking 230/250 targets! The top 16 squads in the region advance to the State Tournament, and one of them is our very own! Out of this group, two young men-Lucas Reynolds, and Everett Melton, shot 50 out of 50 straight targets! Only 8 out of 582 shooters achieved that today. As we say, it is a great day to be a Bear!
