#VanguardPride Wisconsin Heights Athletics Week of February 13, 2023 https://bit.ly/WisHeightsAthletics

All of the personal finance students escaped Unit 2: Checks & Registers! 💲 At the end of the unit, checks were stolen from their checkbooks, and they had to track down🧐 the thieves and get the checks back. To identify the thieves, #VanguardPride students were given a breakout box where they had to crack a total of five locks. To open four of the locks, they had to identify the parts of a check and balance a checkbook. Once they got into the box, students found a black light flashlight, blank check, and a locked box. When they shined the blacklight flashlight on the check, they revealed the names of the thieves, who were Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Van Den Bergh, and Mr. Harrison. The thieves were tracked down in the building and gave the students a key to the fifth lock for the locked box. Once in the locked box, students were rewarded with sweet treats! If only all finances were this fun!🙃

Due to inclement weather, WHSD will be closed on Thursday, February 9, 2023. Virtual learning for Middle and High School students. Be safe!

7th grade math finished their unit on proportional reasoning with writing their own proportional situation. There were problems about Lady Gaga, Cardi B, LeBron James, Among Us, flying planes, cupcakes, and pineapples. Once students wrote a proportional problem, they had to create a poster of their situation that included a table, graph, equation, and constant of proportionality for their situation. The #VanguardPride students had a lot of fun bringing their own interests into math and using them in what they were learning!

A new group of juniors and seniors started personal finance second semester, and they kicked off the class by creating digital financial vision boards. A vision board is a collage of images and words to represent a person's wishes and goals and is intended to serve as a source of motivation and inspiration. Students included their favorite activities and values, major purchases they hope to make, a short-term goal, a long-term financial goal, and a summary of three things they can do this semester to work toward their future life. #VanguardPride
