Wamogo AP Environmental Science students learn the difference between recycling an upcycling with a gift exchange.
Wamogo Student Council sponsors Hat Day! Even the pups participated!
Art 1 students create Radial Design Color Wheels. We are using math in art again! Students created a 10" diameter circle, divided it into 12 equal parts, radiating from the center. They used a compass, ruler, & protractor for precision. Some created designs with radial symmetry.
Eighth graders enjoy a fun game of mat ball before the Winter break. This kickball based game keeps everyone involved and moving!
Anything But a Backpack Day!
Wamogo Student Council starts the day with a friendly greeting and a candy cane!
Art 1 students engaged their math skills by creating a template for a cube. To work, it required careful measurements, right angles, parallel & perpendicular lines. They then created optical illusions on each of the six sides.Many OP Art designs showcase space or depth.

The colors were stunning and tied right in with the Color Theory unit we are working on in Art 1.
Wamogo CRAFTS students are learning to crochet & knit, improvising by using pencils as knitting needles! Senior, Tori Nurnberg, crocheted her first hat & Natalie O'Connor created a pompom to top it off! A beautiful collaboration. Crochet/Knitting can be a very meditative artform.
A student's passion about clean energy was recently given a voice in Law & Civics. A phenomenally written letter was acknowledged in a personalized return response by Senator Richard Blumenthal!
Robotics students use the Engineering Design Plan to brainstorm, build, and iterate different prototype robots in an effort to compete for best time through an obstacle course!

In late November, Mac's Grade 7 PE participated in their very first Turkey Bowl. They played flag football & were encouraged to wear their favorite jerseys. In this unit, students learned how to throw, catch, run patterns & deflag. The game was a great success & FUN for everyone!
Time lapsed photography captures Wamogo Senior, Brianna Root, creating a charcoal portrait for her AP Art Sustained Investigation. Understanding how to make and employ a full range of values, from white to black, helps to create the illusion of dimensionality.
AP Environmental Science students investigate the Coriolis effect by tracing the apparent deflection of air currents across the Earth.
Algebra 2 students have been using the structure of different quadratic forms to graph parabolas. They make use of the fact that the different quadratic forms each describe specific features of the graph.
Thanks to all the students and staff who participated in our Day of Sacrifice yesterday. Wearing a heavy backpack, giving up a cell phone or pledging silence for the day served as a reminder of all the sacrifices our service men and women make everyday. Happy Veteran’s Day!
Halloween on the Hill! Thanks to all the clubs, teams and staff for this amazing event for our future Warriors!
