Art News
WHS welcomes Mrs. Myra Hunter as our new art teacher! Mrs. Hunter has been at WHS
for a few weeks now and she and students are settling in to new routines.
Mrs. Hunter uses a traditional art instruction approach focusing on the elements and
principles of art. Students will be learning drawing and shading skills in the coming
months.
All students taking art should have brought home a syllabus for their class, to be signed
and returned to Mrs. Hunter ASAP.
6th & 7th Grade Social Studies
Monday, we will be learning the map skills that relate with orienteering.
Tuesday, students will become cartographers by creating contour maps. They will also
continue learning how to read contour maps.
The rest of the week will be sent exploring different kinds of maps, and they will be
beginning working toward a final project. The due date for that project has not been
determined yet. Don't panic. They will have plenty of time to accomplish it, if they work
hard and stay on course.
