Students in Ms. McLean's Pre-K class explored learning through hands-on play. Students used sand trays and various objects to work on letter naming and recognition and sorting objects by characteristics. Students enjoyed this fun, interactive lesson! #WillowStrong #BlueJaysSoar #learningthroughplay #LearningInAction

This month at Willow Springs, we are focusing on empathy and are challenging students to make sure that everyone they interact with feels seen, heard, and valued. During Morning Meeting time, 3rd graders in Mrs. Barmer's class and Ms. Fulwood's class gave examples of ways they can show people they care about them and discussed how listening to others helps them know you care. Great job, Mrs. Barmer and Ms. Fulwood, for creating a safe space for your students to communicate and build relationships! #WillowStrong #BlueJaysSoar #CKH #empathymatters #connectwithheart #WeAreKISD

Our blue jays are always having fun in Science! 2nd graders at Willow Springs explored how the physical properties of matter change through processes. The students observed, recorded, and discussed how materials (like crayons) can be changed through heating or cooling. What a fun experiment! #WillowStrong #BlueJaysSoar #LearningInAction #WeAreKISD

Students in 3rd through 5th grades conducted science experiments this week on identifying the physical properties of matter. Students determined the texture and flexibility of a variety of materials and then classified the items according to those observable properties, and students also measured and recorded the temperature of different forms of matter. We have some super intelligent Blue Jay Scientists at Willow Springs! Keep up the hard work, friends! 🧑🏾🔬🥽👨🏽🔬 #WillowStrong #LearningInAction #BlueJaysSoar #WeAreKISD
