Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary

Congratulations to our 3rd grade teacher, Mrs Chen. We love and appreciate you Mrs Chen and are appreciative of all you do to ensure your student's past & present are successful. Your dedication to our UIL Number Sense kiddos is impressive. And your passion for multicultural month is wonderful to see in action. We love you Mrs. Chen! #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Today we celebrated our amazing crossing guards. Mr Mike, Mr Reggie, Ms Lisa & our newest team member, Mr Tim (he joined us this week). We are so thankful for each of you, together you each help ensure that our Wilder Wolves get to school safely every day. Thank you! We also want to wish Ms Lisa a very Happy Birthday. 😊 #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

This afternoon, Mrs. Sullivan got to do some prize patrolling in various classrooms throughout the building. Each month, students who read at least 300 minutes in Beanstack receive a certificate and a trinket. Mrs. Sullivan ordered Benny the Beanstack plushies for students who completed the January "Read with Benny" challenge and got to deliver those to students today. We are so proud of our little Wolves who are finally starting to log their minutes like the big Wolves do, and she wanted to share just a few pictures of their smiling faces. Remember, Beanstack is accessible to all Wilder students via Clever. There is always a monthly reading challenge, but there are sometimes other great freebie opportunities too; check it out today! #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Yesterday, 4th grader Caleb Joseph represented Wilder at the district spelling bee at Freedom Field, and we are so proud of his efforts. There were 7 rounds, and Caleb reached round 6 before being eliminated. Way to go, Caleb! If you see him in the hallways, please give him a high-five or a friendly congratulations. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Congratulations to our wonderful January Wolf of the Month recipients. These students exemplify what it means to be a Wilder Wolf. Every day, they are: independent learners, dedicated, enthusiastic, and respectful. Thank you for setting an example for others and being a leader on campus. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Once again our incredible PTO provided a wonderful 1st Friday breakfast. Thank you ladies for taking such great care of all of us. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

This past weekend, two of our Wilder Wolves competed in the Battle of the Bayou in Hitchcock, representing the SCHS FFA and taking top prize. Rosie, a 3rd grader and her Polish Buck rabbit, Pandy, placed 1st and took best of breed, and 4th grade sister Madilyn took 2nd place with her Netherland Dwarf Buck. Congrats, girls, and thanks for representing not only Wilder Elementary but also our SCHS FFA program. #WIlderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

When we think about school, we often think of teachers and students, but there’s a quiet force in the building making sure students are actually okay enough to learn: The School Counselor. School counselors are the ultimate multitaskers. On any given day, they are:

The Emotional Anchor: Helping a student navigate a tough morning or a mental health crisis.
The Path-Finder: Guiding seniors through the maze of college apps and career dreams.
The Bridge Builders: Connecting parents, teachers, and students to make sure nobody falls through the cracks.
The Conflict Resolvers: Teaching the life skills that aren't found in a math 101 syllabus.

Education isn’t just about grades; it’s about growing into a whole person. Counselors provide the safety net that allows students to take risks, fail, and get back up again. Ms Price, we see you, we appreciate you. Thank you for being the heart of our school. ❤️ #WIlderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

This week is Counselor Appreciation Week, and at Wilder, we have one of the best: Ms. LaNetta Price. Ms. Price is our incredible school counselor, supporting our students with compassion, patience, and an open heart every single day. From big feelings to big decisions, Ms. Price is always there to listen, encourage, and help our students shine. Thank you, Ms. Price, for being a safe space, a steady guide, and such an important part of our school family. We are so grateful for all you do! #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Today was the 100th day of school for our Pre-K and Kinder friends. They are 100 days smarter thanks to their hard work and their teachers' dedication. Keep working hard, little Wolves, we're so proud of you. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Ladies & Gentlemen, start your collecting! Call your grandparents, talk to your neighbors, ask your friends at work to save all their plastic grocery bags. We don't care if they have holes or tears; it doesn't matter. Just save them! Every bag is worth its weight in gold (and it helps save the Earth). Don't start sending them to school until March, but don't wait to start collecting. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Our 5th graders are working hard this morning, taking their Jr. High Math MAP test in the cafeteria. Our 5th-grade math teachers have worked hard this year to prepare our students, and I know that Mrs. Melton and Mrs. Herrera are proud of all they've achieved thus far. Good luck, 5th graders! #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Lots of exciting things are happening in 2nd grade these days. Mrs. Owen recently had her students research 2 different habitats. They had to compare them, predict what would happen to the plants and animals if it didn't rain for a long time in one of the habitats, and then present their findings to their classmates. Great job, Wolves! #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Recently, 2nd graders in Ms. Clinton's math class went on a 3D scavenger hunt throughout our hallways. Anytime students get to walk, talk, and learn at the same time, it's always a hit! Great job, 2nd graders, and thanks for a fun lesson, Ms. Clinton. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

This morning, we celebrated National Puzzle Day with an impromptu puzzle club get-together. Special shout-out to all the teachers who just showed up to help make this happen. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Congratulations to these two incredible women. Mrs. Abraham is our Teacher of the Year, and Mrs. James is our Paraprofessional of the Year. Both of these ladies exemplify what it means to be a Wilder Wolf. They both love our students with their whole hearts and go above and beyond every single day to ensure their students have what they need to be successful. When you see them, please be sure to congratulate them and thank them for all they do every day. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Congratulations to this week's Wolf of the Week, 4th-grade math & science teacher, Mrs. Irby. She always has a smile on her face and does an amazing job of pushing her students to achieve more. Way to go, Mrs. Irby! #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Last night's 3rd-grade multicultural choir program & art presentation was a tremendous success. As always special thanks to Mrs. Ball & Mrs. McPeters for putting together a memorable program for all. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllInAlvinISD

🎉 Congratulations to Ms. Irby’s 4th graders for being the Imagine Math Mid-Year Contest Winning Class! 🎉 Her class earned a spot in the drawing by having 75% or more of her students successfully pass 15 lessons—and they won a pizza party!

Big shoutout to Kyra & Julia, our Wilder math superstars! These students are the lucky winners of our Imagine Math district drawing for a pair of Bluetooth earbuds.
