DID YOU KNOW?
- Scaffolding is different than differentiation. Check out this Edutopia article I found last week.
- This is some excellent information from the designers from our Green Apple Day @ Lee.
- Teaching reading in a digital age takes some additional tools in your toolbox. Check out this article Jillian shared with me.
THANK YOU
Thank you for handling school business while we were at Sky Ranch. The office staff handled the many questions, medicine and organized our departure. Todd and Angela helped with sticky student and parent concerns. Designers, you kept learners engaged, carried on "as usual" and took care of our friends who stayed home. (Even when there is a flood and the Superintendent visits TWICE!)
A special thank you goes out to Nick, Samira, Rachel, and Ayesha for the planning, preparation, long hours and extra supervision of students. It was an incredible experience and one we all will remember!
SALLY RIDE TRAINING
Thank you for scheduling your learner-led conferences around Friday so that we could have Sally Ride Training. The day starts promptly at 8:30 and will end around 3:30. We will have an hour for lunch on your own. We will provide breakfast muffins and snacks, so bring your favorite beverage. Dress comfortably.
PLEASE HELP
A friendly reminder: please help turn off tv's and projectors in your spaces before leaving for the day. We are still having trouble with this. Don't forget your colabs. Please take shoes off to sit in the window seats. THANK YOU!
SPUR SAVINGS
We will have a fifth grade learner-led bank at Lee. You received information for your learners to start up their own savings account. Please turn forms in when they are returned. Our first day will be the week of November 10.
LATEST AT LEE
If you are interested in an announcement running in the Latest at Lee electronic PTO Newsletter, Please get it in to me by Thursday morning. Please put a reminder in your weekly communication for parents to sign up to receive this newsletter.
HOMECOMING PARADE
Would you like to participate in the Homecoming Parade? This is on a voluntary basis, but all of you are welcome to join in the fun and walk behind the float from Canyon Rd to Coppell High School. Please send this letter home to your FIRST LEEder of the Week you nominated. If they cannot come, please go to the next LEEder of the Week. There is a fast turn around for this information, I apologize.
