☀️ 1st Grade Science in Action!
This week, our first graders explored how the sun provides light and warmth to Earth. They put their learning into action by building shelters to provide shade for their paper animals!
Our young scientists had so much fun learning about the sun and the importance of shade! 🌞🔬
🎸🎶 Our preschoolers are getting groovy while learning the letter G! They had a great time creating their very own guitars and combining creativity with hands-on learning. We love seeing our little Falcons learn, play, and grow! 💛

🌙🍪 Our 4th graders had a sweet time learning about the phases of the Moon using Oreos! Students modeled each phase while getting hands-on with their learning. Science is even sweeter when you can eat your experiment! 🌕🌗🌑🌓

Our kindergartners are having fun learning their sight words through hands-on play! ✏️🎉 Using Play-Doh to build sight words helps our little learners strengthen fine motor skills while practicing important early literacy skills. Learning is more fun when we can squish, shape, and spell! 💙💛

🦯🤍 Today is White Cane Awareness Day! One of our 4th grade classes welcomed Mrs. Boolba, who works with students who are blind, for a special presentation on awareness, understanding, and inclusion. Thank you, Mrs. Boolba, for helping our students learn how to celebrate and support individuals who are blind or visually impaired! 💙

Some people make a difference in a school, and then there are people like Mr. Crenshaw who make a difference in the hearts of children. 💙💛
Just look at that smile! 🥹 The way these kids light up when they see Mr. Crenshaw says more than words ever could. He may be our custodian by title, but to so many of our students, he is a role model, a friend, a familiar face they can count on, and someone they truly look up to.
The impact he makes goes far beyond keeping our school clean. It’s in the relationships he builds, the kindness he shows, and the way he makes our kids feel seen, valued, and loved. Those are the things they will remember long after they leave our hallways.
B. M. Williams is so lucky to have Mr. Crenshaw, but our students are the ones who are truly blessed. 💙💛
Because sometimes the people who make the biggest difference don’t stand in front of a classroom. They simply show up every day, love on our kids, and remind them that they matter. And Mr. Crenshaw does exactly that! 🥰
📚✨ There’s just something special about a cozy library! 🥰
Our B.M. Williams library is the perfect place to curl up, get lost in a good book, and let your imagination SOAR! 💙💛
📖 We want to know: What’s YOUR all-time favorite children's book? Drop the title in the comments! 👇

Our first graders had a rootin’ tootin’ good time at Triple R Ranch! From exploring the ranch to making memories with their classmates, it was a day full of learning, laughter, and adventure! 🐄🐎🌻
💙 Families, we want to hear from you! Ask your first grader about their favorite part of the trip and share their answer with us in the comments! Did they have a favorite animal, activity, or special moment? 🥰
We love learning, growing, and making memories together—both at school and at home! 💛
