🏗️⚙️ Our 3rd graders traveled way back in time to Ancient Egypt this week! They put their engineering hats on to design and test simple machines that could help build the pyramids 🏺✨ From levers to pulleys, they discovered just how clever those ancient builders really were! Who knew learning about history could be so hands-on and fun? 🐫🔺

🌕🌖🌗🌘 4th grade scientists had a sweet time learning about the moon phases last week! Using Oreos (yes, Oreos 🍪), they carefully twisted, scraped, and sculpted each cookie to show the different phases of the moon. Learning is always better with snacks — and now they’ll never look at dessert the same way again! 🌙✨

Our preschoolers have caught the reading bug! 🐛📚 From turning pages to giggling at silly stories, these tiny bookworms are on a reading adventure full of fun, laughter, and imagination! 🌟✨

🔷 Our 5th graders are diving deep into science with Hexagonal Thinking! 🧠✨ Students worked together to connect key ideas about matter — from physical and chemical changes to atoms and molecules — making meaningful connections and explaining their thinking along the way. This hands-on review helped them see how all the pieces of learning fit together! 🔬💭

✨🎨 2025–2026 Reflections Contest 🎨✨ This year’s theme is “I Belong.” 🫶 Students are invited to express themselves through art, dance, film, literature, music, or photography as they explore what belonging means to them. 🌈 Every student has a voice and a story to share — and this is your chance to shine! 💫 Stay tuned for submission details and deadlines. We can’t wait to see how our amazing B.M. Williams students show the world where they belong! 💛💙
