Williams Elementary School

Ms. McCoy's class at Williams Elementary recently completed a project to help out the graduating seniors at MHS. They were contacted by the Project Graduation Committee and asked if they would like to help out with a special project. They worked together to decorate and stuff 160 envelopes for graduates that attend Project Graduation. The class was asked to stuff each envelope with 100 "Project Graduation Dollars". However, students thought the envelopes were a little "boring" and wanted to jazz it up a bit. Therefore, each envelope, all 160, have been decorated with many colors and a positive message! The class believed that the seniors have worked hard and they should know how proud the younger students are as they "play" all the fun games at Project Graduation that night.

Williams Elementary School recently had Matthew Bannon with Robo Wunderkind come to share great information about robots with the kindergarteners. Students learned to build real-world representations of robots, improve their coding and problem-solving skills, increase their interest in STEAM lessons, and improve their self-efficacy to learn and practice STEAM. Thank you Matthew for sharing your passion for STEAM and robots with us!

Ms. McCoy's class at Williams Elementary has been working all year on a monthly podcast called, "Happy Habits". You can find it on Spotify. They highlight one habit per month and it features a new group of 5-6 students each time. ALL students have made an appearance on the podcast and are now circling back for round 2! The kids recently came up with the idea of wanting to share their podcast with the community. For Leader In Me's Global Leadership Celebration Day, each student created 3 bookmarks, and on the back of these bookmarks, provided a QR code that will link readers in the community to their podcast. It also lists an email for readers to send a review or a request for a podcast episode. Students visited the Mattoon Public Library and chose 3 books to put the bookmarks into. Check out the link to the podcast with the link below: spoti.fi/3MEZV3T
