Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary

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. She sets high expectations for her students and will always do whatever it takes to ensure that they feel successful and continue to grow. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

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

Congratulations to our first Wolf of the Week. Ms. Moody is our new PASS teacher and chair of the special education department. Ms. Moody has jumped in with both feet to ensure our PASS students are having a great start to the new school year. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Next weekend, @AlvinISD will celebrate our 100th anniversary at Freedom Field near ICHS. In honor of that upcoming celebration, we are sharing historical flashbacks on our social media pages. This week, we're celebrating our very own Mrs. Marz, she's served Alvin ISD for many years as a 1st-grade teacher, instructional coach, assistant principal, and, of course, now as principal. Alvin ISD is a place where educators want to be, and Mrs. Marz is a great example of that. Congratulations, Alvin ISD and Mrs. Marz, for decades of service to our students, past and present. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Third grade students are learning about the order of the planets.  Mrs. Chen's class created some scaled Solar System models. Students put the plantes in the correct order and the relative scaled distance from the sun to the planets. They had astronomical fun working on the project. They totally "rocket"! #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Sometimes science can appear inside the halls of Wilder, not just in the classrooms. This morning, Mr. Riley found a wolf spider covered with her babies on her back and took her to Ms. Abraham and Ms. Bowens' science classrooms to show students before safely releasing her back to the great outdoors. He may have also brought it to Mrs. Sullivan's office and scared her half to death-- LOL. Great job, Mr. Riley, for helping bring science to life for our Wilder Wolves. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Raising the flag is a huge responsibility for our students at Wilder Elementary! Our Flag Patrol plays a vital role in starting each school day with a powerful reminder of what it means to be a good citizen. It teaches them about responsibility, respect, and the significance of honoring our nation's flag. This daily act isn't just a tradition; it's a valuable lesson in patriotism and community. Being part of the Flag Patrol instills a sense of pride and encourages students to reflect on the values our flag represents. It's a fantastic way to teach them to be responsible leaders and respectful members of our school and community. Help us thank our awesome Flag Patrol students for their daily dedication, despite the weather. Special thanks to Mrs. Hudzietz for always teaching our students to do this job correctly and with honor. #WIlderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

What a successful morning! Today, we held our very first fire drill of the year. The safety and security of our students and staff are our top priorities at all times. That’s why we conduct regular drills for various emergency situations. Practicing these procedures ensures that everyone knows what to do in the event of a real emergency. We are so proud of how quickly and calmly everyone evacuated the building. Please ensure you speak with your student about always cooperating and taking drills seriously! #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Every morning, our Kindergarten friends come in and get to work right away on their "morning work". We love how seriously all our little wolves take their learning journeys. Great job, Kinder friends and teachers! Keep up the great work. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD

Mrs. Paolini's 1st-graders enjoyed a read-aloud from the Elementary ELAR Curriculum Coordinator, Ms. Natalie Buford. The read-aloud was all about boogers , but there were lots of laughs, and it'll probably be a book these kiddos won't forget any time soon. #WilderWolves #BuildingBrightFutures #AllinAlvinISD
