West Hempstead Middle School

Students in Mr. Bauer's class are teaching one another about antibodies as part of a unit on body systems. The teacher sets it up and the students run with it. What learning should look like! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB (1/2)

Ss in @HomeNCareers11 JVE program participating in their 1st nation-wide trade show. Selling PRISMA high-end fashion to prospective customers. Put in so much time, effort, & dedication to make it happen! Their entrepreneurial spirit is strong. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

It's a banner week for the #RamPride award @ WHMS. We had 26 awards to present today & no way to fit all nominees in one picture. So we'll share them in 3 tweets. Way to display those Habits of Mind & make our school a better place! Congrats to all! @whufsdrams @smurrayLB (3/3)

Good afternoon WHMS! I hope that you are receiving my weekly email each Sunday morning that includes the "Week @ WHMS" newsletter. If not, you can also read it on the West Hempstead app in the "documents" section. Stay informed. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

Last week brownies, this week tacos! @HomeNCareers11 students are making healthy ground turkey tacos with chips & salsa to accompany. The hall is smelling good this morning! Parents, you can ask your children to help with dinner prep now. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

Our science wing is filled with posters commemorating black & African American scientists and their contributions to our nation & the world. The research & artistic design students engaged in is a fitting tribute to these pioneers. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

Our WHMS classrooms feel different this year. The workshop approach to reading & writing means more partner work & fewer whole-class lessons. This increases engagement & motivation. Here Ms. Parker & Ms. Kiernan's class are reading to do character analysis. @whufsdrams @smurrayLB

We welcomed our @WHChestnut teacher friends today to our WHMS math classrooms. All part of our P-12 approach to teaching & learning. Where do they start & where do they need to end? Working as a team to answer these questions for our students. @whufsdrams @smurrayLB #RamResolve

When the weather keeps us cooped up inside, WHMS students entertain themselves at recess time. Here our musically inclined hold a "jam" session to pass the time. Creative juices flowing! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

Congratulations to our #RamPride Award winners this week: Emily and Auren. They were Thinking Interdependently and Remaining Open to Continuous Learning. We love our Habits of Mind! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

Good morning WHMS! Just a reminder that tomorrow will follow an alternate bell schedule for our winter administration of the NWEA assessments. Please arrive to school on time so that you have sufficient time to do your best. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

Out talented Studio in Art students created these monochromatic celebrity portraits. 1st they developed their value scale (shades & tints), sketched the portrait from a photo, and finally painted. Way to go! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

Friday is #RamPride Award day at WHMS. Our nominees this week remained open to continuous learning, thought interdependently, & found humor. We're proud of them using their Habits of Mind. Way to go Daniel, Victoria, Alanna, & Mykeim. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

Sometimes it's mental sweat we produce at WHMS. Our Living Environment students are buckling down on their mid-term this morning as practice for the Regents they'll take in June. Good work all! Remember to eliminate the obvious wrong choice 1st. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
