Williams Elementary School

Now that summer break is over, you’re probably getting back into the school-year routine. It’s a great time to remember the importance of breakfast. Studies show students who eat breakfast are more likely to pay attention in class, have stronger memories, and get better test scores. Get ideas to start their day off right with the link below from our friends at Aramark. https://www.fyp365.com/success-starts-with-breakfast/ #MCUSD2 #Mattoon

Ashley Armstrong playing her harp in Mrs. Schafer's 2/3 grade class at Williams Elementary. The class has a behavioral incentive program where students earn "Schafer Bucks". They can buy prizes from a list of options and Ashley selected Show & Tell because she wanted to share her passion for playing the harp! Ashley has taken lessons since she was very young and she is becoming an extremely talented harpist. Way to go Ashley! #MCUSD2 #Mattoon #WilliamsElementary

Mrs. Grabiec's 3rd grade class at Williams Elementary has been reviewing Habit 3- Beginning with the End in Mind, as a part of the 1st 8 Day’s curriculum. The 3rd grade team shared this activity for the kids to work on. In teams, students had to get their worm through the candy ring by only touching paper clips.
