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.

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! 🥰

🧪🥨 Learning Science by Mixing It Up! 🥨🧪 Our 5th graders had a blast exploring mixtures and solutions! They got hands-on as they created their own food mixtures and solutions and then completed an experiment to investigate how different substances interact. 🔬✨ It was a fun way to turn science concepts into a hands-on learning experience—and our scientists were definitely mixing, testing, observing, and learning along the way! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 #BMWFalcons #5thGrade #ScienceIsFun #MixturesAndSolutions #HandsOnLearning #STEM
