Birdwell Dual Language Immersion School - Orgullosamente Bilingüe

Our Birdwell middle school students had the opportunity to experience our NEW Makerspace area after completing their library lesson and book checkout! From exploring hands-on activities to creating, building, and problem-solving, students were excited to see all the possibilities this new space has to offer. 🧩⚙️💡 The Makerspace gives our students a place to turn their curiosity into creativity while developing collaboration, critical-thinking, and STEM skills. We can’t wait to see what our Birdwell students create this year! 💙📚

Ms. Pujol’s class explored fine motor skills and emotions through The Color Monster! 🌈 Students used creativity and hands-on activities to identify, express, and understand their feelings while strengthening those important little muscles in their hands. What a wonderful way to combine social-emotional learning, literacy, and fine motor development all in one engaging experience! 💙💚💛❤️

Congratulations to Tania Maldonado, Mauro Ortega, and Maite Betancourt of Birdwell Dual Language Immersion School for being honored at the School Board Meeting for their outstanding achievement in the Regional District-Level Spanish Spelling Bee! 🐝📚

Our young scientists created their very own mini lava lamps while exploring the fascinating concept of relative density. Through this fun, hands-on experiment, students observed how different liquids behave based on their density—and they had a bubbling good time learning along the way! 🌋🔬 Learning is even more exciting when you can see science in action!
