Congratulations to our 2nd grade teachers, Ms. McMeans, Mrs. Sendejo, Mrs.Morris, and Ms. Bass, who planned intentionally and implemented some incredible reading lessons with their students. The hard work of both these teachers and their students was evident when they were recognized as one of the KISD "Top Quarter" recipients for the 1st 9 Weeks Benchmark Assessment. The Willow Springs Second-Grade had the second-highest score in the entire district! Thank you, teachers, for setting high standards for academic success! #WillowStrong #WeAreKISD #BlueJaysSoar

Look at these 2nd Grade Scientists in Ms. Bass's class! They used a variety of materials to demonstrate that small items can be combined to form new objects for different purposes. Students were able to explain that they chose materials based on their physical properties, using items that would work best together.

Thank you for making learning fun, Ms. Bass! We are so proud of your little blue jays and their amazing work!

Ms. Somerville's kindergarten class has been learning that there are recognizable patterns in the natural world and among objects in the sky. They took advantage of the beautiful day to observe, describe, and illustrate the Sun and objects in the sky, such as clouds. When asked what they were doing outside, the students responded in unison, " We're watching the sun!!!" The students went outdoors multiple times throughout the day and recorded changes to the sun's position in the sky! Wow! Way to go, Blue Jays! Keep up the amazing work!

Some of our tiniest blue jays in our ECSE class participated in a fun "Do Now" morning activity today--mixing colors in bags with various colored paints! They used this unique variety of art materials for an engaging sensory experience while also exploring math and writing conventions (writing numerals and letters). Way to make learning fun, blue jays! #WillowStrong #BlueJaysSoar #WeAreKISD #kisdkidswinning #learninginaction

Mrs. Barmer's 3rd grade class conducted a science investigation to demonstrate and explain how position and motion can be changed by pushing and pulling objects. Students used toys vehicles and yard sticks to show the relationship between forces and motion. Way to go, Blue Jay Scientists!
