*WIGs Wednesday*
Meet Christian Pettyjohn from Franklin Preschool! Christian is in Miss Polston’s Full-Day classroom. His personal WIG (Wildly Important Goal) is to follow the classroom rules. Christian said, “I need to have listening ears, a calm body, watching eyes, and a quiet voice. If I have a problem I know I can talk to a teacher.” Christian said that when he has a good day, and follows the rules, it makes him “happy and excited.” At school, Christian enjoys playing with his friends, playing outside, and making art projects. Miss Polston said, “Christian has made a lot of progress towards his goal this year! He is really working on self-regulation and we are so proud of him! He is very excited for kindergarten!”

Mattoon Middle School has a new puzzle in the Media Center for students to collaboratively finish! It is ALL WHITE! Once a student is able to add a piece to the puzzle, they can add their initials to that piece so at the end we will be able to see all of our students who contributed to the completion of the puzzle!

The turtles in the courtyard at Mattoon Middle School are making their annual appearance out of hibernation! We have an entire family of turtles and have spotted some babies already this spring! These turtles have been a part of the MMS family for about 2 decades and students look forward to them each Spring! They are fed by the media center (see "Broccoli" in the picture) and are enjoyed by all!
