??? Kats in the Classroom ???? Take a peek into the classroom and see what Willis ISD students have been doing for the past few weeks! ?? Students in Mrs. Moore's Algebra class at Brabham Middle School took their lesson outdoors with an engaging traffic light challenge. ?? Fifth graders at Cannan Elementary used Curipod to get instant feedback on their writing. ?? Mrs. Morgan's kindergarten class at C. C. Hardy Elementary examined the weather outdoors and then created drawings based on their observations. ?? Mrs. Martone’s first-grade class at Parmley Elementary sent and received mail from around the world during the month of February. ?? Students in Mrs. Ghali’s class at Roark Early Education Center matched baby animals to their parents. ??
