First grade is OUT of this WORLD! Students just finished learning about astronomy and got to participate in some fun stations. During rotations students practiced making the phases of the moon with Oreos, experienced how solar energy lights up sun beads, and they even got a chance to look through the sun telescope. Learning is fun at Woodlawn Elementary School! #TheWoodlawnWay #OneMission #studentsuccess

Last week a few of our Woodlawn teachers attended the state CARD (Center for Autism and Related Disabilities) Conference in Orlando. At Woodlawn we work hard to build an inclusive environment for all students and today our teachers added to their toolbox to learn how to better serve our students on the autism spectrum. Even as teachers we are constantly growing and learning. #thewoodlawnway #OneMission #studentsuccess
