Wall ISD

⚖️ Order in the court! 📝 Our 7th graders put their argumentative writing skills on trial during a courtroom debate over the Titanic! After reading an article, students drew sides to argue, crafted their essays, and then broke them into key points as they stepped into their roles as lawyers. Classmates served as jurors—and even the judge! A fun, engaging day in writing class… making writing ARGUABLY more exciting than ever! 🚢✨

Collaboration in action! Mr. Harney and his shop students built custom prop tables for Mrs. Watts and her One Act Play crew. Today, Mrs. Watts’ students joined in to add the finishing touch by staining the tables.

Teamwork, creativity, and a little bit of sawdust—our students make magic happen both on stage and in the shop! ✨

Our fourth graders have been BUSY stepping into the spotlight as our very own news anchors! 🎤📺 Each day, they lead the daily announcements—sharing the pledges, weather updates, student shoutouts, lunch menus, birthdays, and exciting upcoming events. A big thank you to the Wall Education Foundation for helping us bring this opportunity to life for our students. Staff and students alike are loving the daily broadcasts, and the hands-on experience our fourth graders are gaining throughout the creation process is truly top-notch. We are so proud of their hard work and confidence on camera!

👏🎼 Way to represent—good luck at State!

Our 4th graders had a fun-filled trip to the San Angelo Symphony at Murphey Performance Hall 🎼, then cooled off with Kona Ice at the park 🍧!

📌This Week Across Wall ISD:

Our WHS chemists used mole calculations to measure just the right amounts of magnesium, iron, and barium to create a variety of colors and sparks. They mixed the metals with a cornstarch slurry, formed a paste on rods, and let them dry to make homemade sparklers—just like the ones used on the Fourth of July! 🎆

The students were amazed at how well they worked. Chemistry has never been this bright! ✨

Students in Mrs. Branch’s biology classes conducted a gel electrophoresis lab this week. 🧬 Students learned about this biotechnology, how to use a micropipette, and how to read a DNA fingerprint from the procedure. Using the DNA fingerprint, students were able to determine paternity in a simulated scenario where scientists were trying to identify the father of a baby whale! 🐋🔬✨

As part of Holocaust Remembrance Week, our 8th grade students participated in The Butterfly Project, inspired by the poem “The Butterfly” written by a young prisoner at the Terezín concentration camp. Butterflies symbolize the beauty, fragility, and resilience of life, and each one created honors a child of the Holocaust whose life was taken too soon. 🦋
