How do you keep Ss engaged with others’ presentations? Ms. Spallino used the TAG method of providing peer feedback combined with a gallery walk format on Chromebooks. Authentic audience and purpose! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
Congratulations to the middle school boys soccer team. Today the team defeated Malverne Middle School by the score of 6-1. It was a great team win.
Our students worked diligently on the first day of our NWEA reading assessments today. We’ll have data soon to help plan instruction and to share with parents. Not the most fun part of our day, but vital nonetheless. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
I got out and swung the racket with some of Ms. Kenney’s PE students this morning. They were impressed with my forehand. Gotta keep that racket head vertical kids! Always fun to join in the play. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
This culmination of an interdisciplinary project with Ms. Cerrone, Ms. Gulisano, & Ms. Magness. Ss made ice cream in FACS then learned about states of matter in Sci using the same ice cream. A lesson to never forget. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
Ms. Parillo’s students were exploring concepts of linear equations and scatter plots by examining data showing the relationship between bridge length and strength. Applying math to real world problems with our new CMP3 math program. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
Our usual Halloween Dance has morphed into a Haunted “Whodunit” so we can have fun in a COVID safe manner. We’ll have a school-wide scavenger-hunt style mystery to solve. The evening of 10/28/21 with separate 7th and 8th grade sessions. @whusfdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
The steelworkers are welding away up on the scaffold. The roof is in place and the walls should be on their way soon. Very exciting! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
So important to keep things in perspective. The last time any of our WHMS students had a "normal" school year was in elementary school. Care, guidance, & patience are the name of the game as we all get used to being around one another with new expectations. #RamResolve @smurrayLB
Our beautiful filtered water fountains are set to only refill water bottles due to COVID. We're keeping mouths away from the spigot. Please send your child with a refillable water bottle so they can stay hydrated throughout the day. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
Join Mr. Murray at dismissal on Monday, October 4, to learn more about our Title I programs and resources. Interested parents should meet in the MS library at 2:45. Your child can wait outside, attend homework center, or go to extra help during the meeting. You're already here!
Letting kids be kids! Our students at recess having a volleyball circle to have fun and let out a little pent up energy. Then they'll be more ready to learn after lunch. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
Since our masks our on, we can work more closely for short periods of time than last year. Here students in @dmb2587 class are creating "movie posters" to teach classmates about a region of the country. Very engaged! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
Ss in @CSpallino715 Spanish 1A class are only 17 days into their new language and are already writing dialogues to practice an encounter with a new person.
Como esta? Bien, y tu?
Way to get after it! Imagine what a few months will bring. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
Our newest #RamFam teacher, Mr. Coleman, and his band students are warming up, but not without some feedback. Here he shows proper hand positioning for our flutists. Remember, to get to Carnegie Hall... practice, practice, practice! @whufsdrams #RamReslove @smurrayLB
It's amazing what 24 hours can do! Just yesterday the steel was delivered, and here we are the next day with the skeleton complete. Can't wait for the walls to go up next! Your bond at work rebuilding our school gym. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

It's just after 9am and the first beam is upright and secured. Amazing to watch the careful choreography of the crane and steelworkers handling such large girders. Looking forward to today's progress. I could sit out there all day! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
It's just after 7:15am at WHMS and the crane is unloading steel beams to build our new, expanded gym. The foundation was poured and is cured, so it's time to build the walls. So excited that the project is underway! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
