Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary

This afternoon, we finally got to celebrate our summer reading challenge reward winners with Rollie's Frozen Custard at the end of the day. There was a lot of excitement, and Mrs. Sullivan didn't get everyone's picture, but I think it's fair to say everyone had a fantastic time with their sweet summer treat. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Congratulations to our Wolf of the Week, 3rd-grade teacher, Mrs. Hancock. Way to go!!!! #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Thanks, Mrs. Gillie, for sharing some more great pics of your students honoring those who died on September 11th. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Today, we wear red, white, and blue to remember and honor those we lost on September 11th. It's a day to reflect on the courage of first responders and the resilience of our nation. #WIlderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Don't forget to wear red, white & blue tomorrow for Patriots' Day. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Congrats to our first Beanstack weekly champions, Mrs. Abraham's 4th-grade homeroom. They read and logged more minutes in Beanstack last week than any other class. Who will get the poster next week? #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Once again, things got a little Wild at Wilder this morning. Luckily, Mrs. McCord saved Mrs. Abraham's 4th graders from being "attacked" by a lizard. Last week, Mr. Riley saved a second spider crawling in the 2nd-grade hallway. What in the world is happening? Are we turning into Wild Kingdom? We're grateful to the brave individuals who capture and release these little creatures. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Today, during Prime Time with Mr. Blackshear, some of our 3rd & 4th graders worked on team-building activities using architectural challenges and Legos. Great job, Mr. Blackshear and students. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Yesterday, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of Alvin ISD at Freedom Field. It was such fun to see current students and alumni of all ages. Wilder was excited to be a part of this monumental celebration and truly appreciate all the countless hours behind the scenes that it took to pull an event like this off. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Congratulations to our Wolf of the Week, Ms. Tibbs. Ms. Tibbs is our new RLA Resource Teacher, and she is doing a phenomenal job. Keep up the great work, ma'am, and congratulations on your award. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Today, for our Flashback Friday, we are honoring one of our long-time teachers and math instructional coaches, Mr. Ralph Presley. Mr. Presley has been at Wilder since the doors opened in 2007. He is the father of two Wilder Wolves, was an Alvin ISD Teacher of the Year, and has had several former students go on to become valedictorians at Shadow Creek High School. Another little-known fact about Mr. Presley is that he's also a published author. In 2016, he wrote a children's book about his beloved hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana. This time, his book is for adults, specifically those involved in education. We are so proud of Mr. Presley and want to spotlight his accomplishment today, on the day of his publication release. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Yesterday, Mrs. Gillie had a special guest reader visit her class: Natalie Buford, one of the Alvin ISD Elementary Curriculum Coordinators. She read a laugh-out-loud book that had all of Mrs. Gillie's boys and girls rolling with laughter. Thanks for visiting Wilder and reading to our students. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

This morning was our first, 1st Friday of the Year, thanks to our amazing Wilder PTO. This morning, we had yogurt parfaits with various fancy granolas and fresh fruit. We also had fancy little containers for our yogurt, which made us feel like we were at the Ritz-Carlton or something. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

This week's Wolf of the Week is Ms. Gibson, a 1st-grade teacher. She always has a smile on her face and is willing to help wherever an extra pair of hands is needed.

Two Alvin ISD students have been selected for the prestigious National Math Stars Program, a multi-state initiative that identifies exceptional young math talent and provides long-term support to nurture their abilities. Kyree Williams, a 3rd grader in Mrs. Chen & Mrs. Watson's class this year, was one of the two AISD students selected. Each year, thousands of 2nd and 3rd-graders are nominated nationwide, but only a select few are chosen for this rare opportunity. Following a rigorous evaluation process, Kyree and Thomas stood out among nominees from across the country and will now receive 10 years of free support and advanced educational opportunities. Through the program, they will gain access to mentorship, advanced math enrichment, STEM and coding programs, competitions, and other unique experiences! Congrats, Kyree, we are so proud of you!!! #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD
