Ms. Tessa’s class learned a lot by writing and drawing in their journals about “What plants need to live.” 🌱 It was a simple but thoughtful prompt, and students had great ideas about how plants grow. #AVID #WICOR #Journaling #TheWashingtonWay

Washington staff got messy in the best way during our ECERS Art/Child Related Display PD led by our very own Kelley and Kellie! 🎨✨ We explored the benefits of process art and how it inspires creativity and independence in our students. Teachers even got hands-on with activities they can bring right back to their classrooms. 👩🏫 Nothing beats learning through play—no matter your age! 😊
