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

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

Preschool is a great place to be in Buttonwillow. Our students are learning through play and get story time with their teacher @karen35836549. Expanding TK and Preschool will be a great addition to our school. #1townschoolcommunity @SmallSchoolDA

A beautiful morning in Buttonwillow as our busses prepare to roll and the snow covered mountains appear closer than ever to the west. Snow to the west occurs maybe 2-3 times per year. @nrea1@smallschoolda #1townschoolcommunity
Our 2nd graders from @Msgonzalez_2nd and Mrs. Lopez's made Three Sisters Tacos using traditional crops of beans, squash, and corn. They learned the importance of these crops to the Native Americans. We also heard beginning band members play. @MissDPayne2 @SmallSchoolDA
Another great day in the science lab with @MissDPayne2. Students in @mrguzmanbw9 completed a teambuilding mission w/ @InfiniDLearning & 1st graders in @msocampo_bw scuba diving in virtual reality and use mica, our microscopes from @StemTaught. @SmallSchoolDA @nrea1 @caedpartners
