🌤️🐿️ Punxsutawney Phil has spoken! Since he saw his shadow, our Pre-K friends made their own winter magic today ❄️
From learning about Groundhog Day to making and playing with homemade snow, smiles, giggles, and chilly fun filled the classroom. Winter learning is always better when it’s hands-on! ⛄💙







Ms. Sparkman’s art class has spoken—and the verdict is in 🎉🎨 Bubble blowing art is a TOTAL win! Big smiles, creative minds, and lots of bubbly fun made for an unforgettable art experience. 🫧✨

🎉🌟 Congratulations to Our Birdwell Teachers of the Year! 🌟🎉
We are so proud to celebrate two outstanding educators who truly make Birdwell shine!
👏 Elementary Teacher of the Year: Ms. Sonia Gonzalez, 3rd Grade
👏 Middle School Teacher of the Year: Ms. Eva Salas
Both Ms. Gonzalez and Ms. Salas go above and beyond every single day to support, inspire, and empower our students. Their dedication, passion for teaching, and love for our Birdwell community do not go unnoticed.

✨ ¡Orgullo Birdwell! / Birdwell Pride! ✨
We are so proud to celebrate our incredible students who competed in the Regional Spanish Spelling Bee! 🎉
👏 Tania Maldonado (7th grade)
👏 Mauro Ortega (7th grade)
👏 Maite Betancourt (5th grade)
These students competed against participants from four other districts, and all three Birdwell students placed in the Top 3, earning their spot at the State Spanish Spelling Bee in June in El Paso! 🏆📚
The competition required spelling extremely challenging words in Spanish, and their success is a true testament to their hard work, dedication, and perseverance. We also want to recognize the amazing support and guidance from their teachers — Mrs. Perez, Mrs. Gurrusquieta, and Mrs. Salas — who helped make this achievement possible. 💙
¡Felicidades! We can’t wait to cheer you on at State! 🎊🇲🇽

Thank you both for your dedication to Birdwell and for continuing to create meaningful opportunities for our students—we are so proud of you! 💙👏

Our Birdwell students spent time learning about and remembering Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., reflecting on his dream and what it means in their own lives. From thoughtful conversations to meaningful activities, our students were reminded that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Our Kindergarten students brought learning to life with this colorful piñata project! 🎉 As part of their SLAR lessons, they used the piñata to practice sequencing events—first, next, then, and last. Hands-on learning makes literacy fun!









The library was transformed into a Polar Express adventure yesterday, and our students were first-class passengers!
