Enjoy watching the many activities that @ChrisLaFever2 brings to our PS-8th grade classes. Foundational skills are just as important in PE as they are in other subjects. The students have been gradually working on frisbee skills and will move to disc golf tomorrow.
Additional great presentations at our staff development on Wed. Sharing more literacy ideas. Teachers leading is empowering. @a_nrod @Rockin_in_5th @mrguzmanbw9 @ClintonJParris1 @ClaraYanez2 @Missturm @diana_the_twin @TisaTisafischer @mrs_younger_ @PaulArreola5 @caedpartners
A great day for our Girls' STEM Academy. Our girls were hosted by @Macys. The girls worked in 7 groups to dress their professional mentor for an interview. This included choosing shoes and having makeup done by their staff. Mentors then performed a fashion show during lunch.
The Buttonwillow staff is using the @avid4college strategy "Give One Get One" to share ideas about how to improve parent communication. The second part of the staff meeting included @crazyinkinder14 and @badiva sharing reading strategies. #1townschoolcommunity @smallschoolda
Great Girls'Basketball game today vs. Rio Bravo. The game went to a double OT before Rio Bravo pulled it out with a basket in the final 20 seconds.
Today was the award drawing for @okstate gear. Our students won shirts, sweatshirts, pullovers, beanies, folders lanyards, and other items featuring The Oklahoma State Cowboys. Are there future students in this picture? @AVID4College #bw2college #1townschoolcommunity

Incorporating writing, academic language and @next_gen_math with standards based teaching is making a difference with BW students. @mrs_younger_ & @teachlopez123 led today's focus on looking at student work. Thank you @caedpartners for a great partnership #1townschoolcommunity
Awesome start today! We heard 3 & 4 year olds sing "S-A-N-T-A, and Santa is his name--o". After singing, Santa showed up to listen to the preschoolers. Thank you @aeraenergyllc for sending elves to help Santa. The BW office staff had a picture with Santa. #1townschoolcommunity
