Some of our tiniest blue jays in our ECSE class participated in a fun "Do Now" morning activity today--mixing colors in bags with various colored paints! They used this unique variety of art materials for an engaging sensory experience while also exploring math and writing conventions (writing numerals and letters). Way to make learning fun, blue jays! #WillowStrong #BlueJaysSoar #WeAreKISD #kisdkidswinning #learninginaction
