The Woodlands Methodist School

TWMS PreK took a nice long walk to bless a group of seniors in The Woodlands Methodist Church. Their voices filled the room and the smiles from the audience warmed our hearts.

The 8th grade honors students applied their knowledge of physics and sharpened their STEM skills through building a roller coaster! They rose to this engineering and design challenge by building, testing, and revising their roller coasters while simultaneously demonstrating physics concepts by determining speed, force, acceleration, and energy at various points along the ride. Upon completion of the project, they had to pitch their roller coaster design to a board of directors in the classroom.

Teacher for the day is a special opportunity for students to step into the shoes of their teachers. Music class is especially popular to teach! A student from PreK, 2nd, Kindergarten and 3rd grade each had an opportunity to lead their class for music! Thank you to Mrs, Reeves and for our PEO for supporting us!

We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Spring Break! We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday, March 21st!

Our Eagles flew near and far on recent field trips. From The Houston Museum of Natural Science to Minute Maid Park to WOW Science Camp, students in PreK, 2nd and 3rd grades had the opportunity to learn new things and expand their world!

There were two new Heads of School yesterday at TWMS! Nolan and Voss Cole assumed their roles enthusiastically and jumped right in with their responsibilities. Students even may have had a few additional minutes of recess today. Thank you to our PEO for offering such great raffle items! Being Head of School is always a top pick!

The beginning of Lent is recognized by Ash Wednesday. Students and families have the opportunity to receive ashes to signify the season of time for reflection and repentance. Our whole school chapel allowed us all to gather and share this time together. Thank you to our Children's Ministry staff for leading us through this important season.

Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return. Genesis 3:19

Go Texan Day at TWMS included PE horse races, rodeo games, "milking" a cow and lots of fun!

TWMS D2 Girls basketball team won their final game on Friday against Cypress Christian and made TWMS history! CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS!!! Every girl on the team worked hard and never gave up! The girls fought right until the last buzzer and then the crowd and the girls erupted in cheers and tears. We are so proud of them and their coaches! Thank you to all the parents and the coaches for their dedication and support!

Our PreK students are learning all about hibernation and migration. TWMS does not shy away from using the big words. A child between the ages of 2 and 6 has the ability to learn between 6 and 10 words per day (Conversations in Childcare - California Childcare Health Program). That’s up to 70 words a week! But there’s no way a child can reach those kinds of numbers if they are not exposed to language in meaningful, interactive ways. Students created dens for the bears to hibernate.

Did you know that all students at TMWS either have PE or athletics (5th-8th) every day? Movement is essential for learning, and it's fun! Classes recently enjoyed a fun game of Speed Whiffle Ball!

Recently our 2nd graders read and discussed the book ¨Stone Soup¨. Students then used the same ingredients from the book to make their own stone soup in class as a whole group activity. They also created a how-to activity to go along with it. Hands on learning is the best way to learn! #TWMSEagles

TWMS 7th and 8th grade honors students have worked on their Science Fair projects for the entire first semester. Students work through every step of the scientific method from coming up with their own problem/question, creating their experiment, analyzing their data, and drawing conclusions. Students practiced presenting their materials to students and teachers. Next, students will bring their projects to a larger scale competition this weekend at Education for Tomorrow Alliance's SciTech. Good job Eagles!

Students in 3rd grade had to research their biome and write about the physical features & climate, the animals, and the plants for their report. They also worked with their group to create a triorama to show each of these things in their biome. They presented their biomes to 2nd grade and 4th grades.

After gaining extensive knowledge on the Colonial times, 5th grade celebrates by re creating a Colonial Day at school. Students, staff and parents dress the part, play Colonial games, make traditional Colonial decorations and even make home made butter and turnovers. Colonial Day is a rite of passage for 5th graders each year.

The Christmas Band Concert in Robb Chapel was filled with Christmas cheer! What a talented group of students to bless us this special season! Students in middle school at TWMS have the choice of band for an elective which allows them to explore their musical interests. Band teaches collaboration, patience, persistence, and responsibility and we are so proud of these students.

Twenty-one, third through 8th grade students participated in our annual Scripps Spelling Bee. After 12 rounds, Baylor Chadwick, 4th grader won with the word "introspection". Sophie Stone, 5th grader is our runner up. Congratulations Baylor and Sophie!

TWMS Choir performed this weekend at a Community Christmas Event. So proud of the students! Way to go!

TWMS 3rd grade students were able to wear their book report projects to school! Students had to include a replica of the book cover, main and supporting characters, the setting, their favorite scene, their favorite quote, a summary of the book, and their opinion of the book on their t-shirt.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our students, families and staff. We are so thankful for each of you!
