🥧 3.14 reasons to love our WCES cafeteria ladies...but honestly, we lost count!
Happy (early) Pi Day from the best pastry chefs in the county!
Our WCES cafeteria ladies did it again! To help us celebrate PI day (a day early) they served the students and staff a variety of pies!
Yes, homemade pies- Apple, Chocolate Chess, Lemon Ice box, Chocolate Custard Pie, Chocolate Chip, Chess, and Banana!
And here's what makes this even more remarkable: these incredible women purchased every single ingredient, supplied every single material, and covered every single cost entirely out of their own pockets. Four generous, big-hearted ladies who wanted to do something special for our kids and staff because that's exactly who they are.
We are so thankful to have these Pastry Chefs at West Carroll Elementary!
Thank you Shelia, Tina, Kay, and Hope, you help make our school extra special. 🍎🍫🍋

McLemoresville, TN — West Carroll Primary first graders are putting their STEM skills to the test as they prepare for a mischievous visitor ahead of St. Patrick’s Day. Students have been busy designing and building creative traps in hopes of catching a leprechaun.
Using problem-solving, teamwork, and a little imagination, the young engineers carefully planned their traps. The excitement continued as students created colorful “Wanted” posters that now decorate the school hallways, warning that a sneaky leprechaun may be on the loose.
Will anyone catch the leprechaun? 🍀

🥧🌟Happy Pi Day from Mrs. Robinson's class! 🌟🥧
On 3.14, we will celebrate Pi Day. Although we won't be in school on March 14th, Mrs. Robinson's classes celebrated in the most delicious way possible, with our very own mini pies!
We kicked things off with the story of Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi and then got to work like true mathematicians! Students measured circumference, found center points, diameters, and radii. Using this information, each student wrote their very own formulas based on their discoveries! 📏📐
But the real magic? Using string cut to the length of each circle's circumference, students kept cutting diameter-length pieces… and every single time, they were left with 3 whole cuts and a little piece left over. Time after time. Circle after circle.
That little leftover piece? That's the moment it all clicked. THAT'S why pi = 3.1415…
Students didn't just learn about pi. They discovered it just like mathematicians did thousands of years ago. We couldn't be more proud of these junior high and elementary problem-solvers! 🎉

Last week, our Advanced Art students traveled to University of Tennessee at Martin to participate in UTM College Art Day. This was a wonderful opportunity that allowed students to enter work into a juried art show, take various art classes, and socialize with other art students from the West Tennessee area. Our students were able to take classes such as: Figure Drawing, Sculpture, Print Making, and Theatre.
West Carroll brought home two awards from the juried art show! 3rd place in Mixed Media as well as Honorable Mention in Sculpture. We are so proud of our Art program and our students for representing West Carroll so well!

Third Graders Become “Fraction Detectives” in Interactive Math Lesson
Students in Mrs. Lisa Brown’s third-grade class were busy solving mysteries this week as they participated in an engaging math lesson focused on Tennessee Math Standard 3.NF.A.1. The lesson challenged students to explore fractions as parts of a whole by acting as “Fraction Detectives.”
Students worked together to break apart shapes and objects into equal pieces. The goal of the lesson was to help students understand that a fraction represents one or more equal parts of a whole that has been divided into equal sections.
After the lesson, students worked in small groups at learning stations. At one station, students used a pizza pan to sort “food” fraction magnets to make a whole. At the other stations students quizzed one another using flash cards, worked to complete fraction games on their computers, and participated in a fraction scavenger hunt.
By the end of the lesson, students were confidently explaining fractions and demonstrating their understanding with drawings and models. The interactive activities helped turn what can sometimes be a difficult concept into a fun and memorable learning experience.
“This lesson was designed to help students build a strong foundation for future math learning,” shared Mrs. Lisa Brown, 3rd grade Math/Science. “This was a very exciting week and the children enjoyed learning about fractions!”

McLemoresville, TN — Read Across America Week at WCP was an opportunity to encourage a love for books. The goal of the week was simple: inspire students to develop a lifelong love for reading while emphasizing the importance of literacy.
A special thank you goes to the many community readers who took time from their busy schedules to visit WCP and read to our students. They helped bring stories to life and filled the school with enthusiasm and joy.
School librarian Mrs. Karen shared her appreciation for the support, saying, “When our community comes together to read with our students, it shows them that books matter. We hope these moments spark curiosity and inspire our children to become lifelong readers.”

McLemoresville, TN — Kindergarten students at WCP ended their reading unit on kings and queens with a celebration fit for royalty. After spending weeks learning about castles, crowns, and royal life, students arrived ready to celebrate in true royal style. Classrooms were filled with laughter, imagination, and plenty of smiles as the young learners enjoyed their special day together. Crowns, costumes, and creative activities helped bring their reading lessons to life. Teachers captured many memorable moments throughout the celebration. The event served as a fun reminder that learning can be both meaningful and exciting.
As one teacher joked, “Whoever said school isn’t fun clearly hasn’t visited kindergarten at WCP.”

West Carroll Elementary School Celebrates Read Across America Week
West Carroll Elementary School recently celebrated Read Across America Week with a variety of fun and engaging activities designed to promote a love of reading among students.
Throughout the week, students participated in themed dress-up days and school wide contests centered on literacy. The dress-up schedule included Dress as Your Favorite Character Monday, Hat Day Tuesday, Wacky Wednesday, Pajama Day Thursday, and Favorite USA Apparel Friday. Each day, grade-level winners were selected to recognize creativity and participation.
In addition to the themed days, homeroom classes competed to see who could read the most books and earn the most Accelerated Reader points during the week. The top homeroom in each grade level received a special reward for their reading efforts.
Students also took part in a bookmark design contest and a creative activity decorating the iconic hat from The Cat in the Hat. A highlight of the week was the generosity of the WCES cafeteria staff, who donated books so that every student received one of their own to take home.
Read Across America Week concluded with guest readers visiting classrooms to share stories with students.

3rd graders at West Carroll Elementary became medieval builders in art class! 🏰 Using LEGOs, we moved beyond simple building to explore architectural engineering. Students tested the strength of their walls to learn about interlocking seams, wall depth, and the power of buttresses.

The cafeteria staff at West Carroll Elementary School helped make Read Across America Week extra special by collecting enough books for every student to receive one.
Students received books during lunch on March 3 and 4, giving each child the chance to take home a new book of their own. This generous effort supported the school’s focus on literacy and gave students another reason to keep reading beyond the classroom.
