Great to have Christine from @caedpartners & @ucla, Jennifer from @UCLA & Luke from @VanderbiltU on campus observing the coherence in math instruction across our PS-2 classes. TY @meganlfranke for visiting BW yesterday. @KcsosStrong @SmallSchoolDA @nrea1 @CADeptEd @TonyThurmond
It’s softball season and our boys and girls teams started with a win. Thanks Buttonwillow Parks and Rec for allowing us to use your fields!
Teachers and students working together on the SEL component found in @nearpod. It has been a go to for us all year. @coreybess @stooks_edtech @TimSSDA @SmallSchoolDA @nrea1 #1townschoolcommunity @AdmmomH
The great thing about PE at BW is that students do plenty of cardio work, but also learn the intricasies of sports like croquet. Share a spot of tea while striking a ball with a mallet. Hopefully the striker can avoid the oppo "opponent". @smallschoolda #1townschoolcommunity
March Madness begins. BW staff chose schools from the NCAA Basketball Tournament; decorated their doors for the teams; and will research the school as part of @avid4college. The superintendent's choice--Univ. of Tennessee-Chattanooga @utc @gomocs @gomocsmbb @smallschoolda @nrea1
Roady & Gumby are back in BW working hard, although Gumby is a bit worn out after a few days at the @smallschoolda conference in Sacramento. They were the stars of the speech that Buttonwillow's Superintendent, @stuartpackard gave to open the statewide conference. @nrea1
Fundamentally good decision making and great student ingenuity. When the construction of a solar project requires an ADA compliant jog in the fence, why not turn it into a soccer goal. @smallschoolda @sitelogiq
Thank you @CalMatters for sending a photojournalist to follow a typical day of a student in a rural CA school under changing COVID guidelines. We look forward to future photos & stories. @SmallSchoolDA @nrea1 @caedpartners @RuralED @BobWise48 @rudysalasjr @RepDavidValadao @ACSARegion_11
Everyday is a beautiful day in Buttonwillow. Today is truly beautiful. 72 degrees & students are able to work outside. Dr. Seuss' green eggs & ham served by the staff to our students for breakfast. A positive school climate! #bwrunners @Teach_Turpin_24 @SmallSchoolDA @nrea1
Always great when Kinder students start using microscopes in the Science Lab. Excitement is contagious. @stemtaught @MissDPayne2 @TracieTwiford @MissPKinder14 @nrea1 @SmallSchoolDA #1townschoolcommunity
Great days filled with learning happening in Buttonwillow. Missions in @Missturm's class; cooking while following directions and measurement w/ @PaulArreola5 & @MissDPayne2; some basketball and constructing in science lab. #1townschoolcommunity @SmallSchoolDA @CARuralEd

A big thank you to the BW community for supporting @ButtonwillowUSD. Student learning and safety continues to be the #1 priority. Our staff has a 94% attendance rate and our student attendance is off 7% (88%) from the pre-covid norm of 95%. Dedication to learning is obvious.
Our BW 8th graders were checking out how to look at and identify the DNA of a strawberry while in Science Lab. @smallschoolda @StemTaught @Teach_Turpin_24 @MissDPayne2 @Science4Kern @miroyscience @admmomH
How can you not provide AVID strategies to our students? Our teachers are making the difference in lives, enough said. Thank you @Teach_Turpin_24 & @AdmmomH for a great presentation on how to implement @AVID4College in small schools throughout CA. @nrea1 @TimSSDA @KcsosStrong
To paraphrase Mister Rogers, "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood." In this case the Buttonwillow School neighborhood. A pleasant 70° and students are working outside. @smallschoolda @timssda @admmomH #1townschoolcommunity
Glad to be a part of the Pilot #P3CC with @caedpartners. Coherence in Preschool-3rd gr. math. Great discussion today w/ Robla SD Thank you @meganlfranke @cynthiacoburn1 @LuisEArgueta1 @mpusd_now @AzusaUnifiedSD @SangerUnified Oxnard SD @MCS4Kids
A great thing about small schools working together. We had a basketball game cancelled yesterday. We called another school and got a new game scheduled. Making students a priority. Thank you Maricopa School. @smallschoolda #1townschoolcommunity
Great to see wonderful teaching happening in @SusanaE92153149's classroom today. Watching student doing counting collections and then sharing using @padlet from their computers. @meganlfranke @caedpartners @csampsonmath @AdmmomH #1townschoolcommunity
