Today the WGH National Honor Society Students hosted an Egg Hunt for the PK students at WGH. Each PK student was buddied up an NHS student for the event. The PK kids got to decorate a bag, use their seeking skills to find the eggs, their counting skills to find the right number of eggs, and their communication skills to share stories with their NHS buddies.

This was a super special and fun event! See the images below!
We hope everyone has a wonderful Spring Break!

Sincerely,

Hillary Allen and Brandy Scarmack, NHS Advisors

Preschoolers at Warren’s McGuffey PK-8 School recently explored mixing colors as part of a science experiment.

Students in Mrs. Gilligan’s class followed a recipe of colors, water and other safe household supplies to create their own lava lamps.

Mrs. Gilligan noted their are several benefits that come with hands-on learning. For example, students:

• Learn from engaging in real experiences;
• Interact with their environment and each other;
• Use all five of their senses to explore;
• Engage multiple areas of the brain;
• Build fine motor skills.

 Mrs. Gilligan said, “It was a big hit with the students!  

The 36th annual Civic Day activities took place on Friday, April 8, 2022. Representing Warren G. Harding High School were students of Mr. Samuel Amoline: Emma Adams, Tralynn Crowder, Taylor Jackson, Taylor Redick, and Hannah Shuttic. Mrs. Wendy Harzell, associate superintendent of Warren City Schools, and Mrs. Sandy Williams, principal at W.G.H., participated as officials. The students were able to shadow area officials including Mrs. Hartzell and Mrs. Williams, as well as Mr. Doug Franklin, Mayor of Warren.

Students at Warren G. Harding High School have experienced the benefits of gathering in small groups or pairing up with a partner to explore various subjects and topics.

Toegther, the students work to solve problems, complete tasks and learn new concepts. They also build teamworking skills that help them outside the classroom.

For example, recently, students in Mrs. Habowski’s ecology class gathered observational data to explore whether abiotic factors influence plan growth.

Mrs. Hays-Neifer’s demonstrated Boyle’s law for students during chemistry class.

Meanwhile, students in another classroom arrived at peer editing conclusions written from a recent experiment, giving them each the opportunity to provide feedback to their peers based on the requirements of a rubric.  Students then return the conclusions to make edits before turning it in for grading.

Carol Wilson, Freshman Advisory teacher, utilizing micro labs for students to reflect on a topic, engaged in small group conversation with peers to hear personal viewpoints, then share ideas as a whole group.
