Well folks, you can tell we are in the swing of holiday season. Our dates to remember are INSANE, so please try to take care of yourselves and ENJOY these last two weeks with our kids. Ashley and I have had so much fun and JOY planning your Caroling Treats for the next couple of weeks. Look for them to continue each day as we make this a December to Remember. We love you!
- that our 4th and 5th graders will be performing at the CISD Holiday Open House? They were invited along with only three other elementary schools. Congratulations Ashley and learners!
- there is a plan for the January 3 Staff Development Day? Here is information, hot off the press, from Laurie O'Neill: Page 1 Page 2
- that it is time to nominate Red and Black Superstars? Please take time to recognize a colleague or learner in your space that goes above and beyond here.
- that there is an Elementary Facilities Committee that will meet over the next couple of months to determine what short and long term solutions to increased enrollment in CISD will be? If you want to learn more ask: Chantel, Wendy, Courtney, or Stacey. We are serving on this important and influential team that will make decisions that WILL IMPACT ALL OF US AT LEE!
THANK YOU for your commitment to this school-wide event! Please make sure to sign in on an extra duty pay form for two hours when you arrive so we do not have to stay late to collect the forms at the end of the event. I will submit these to payroll for you.
HOUR OF CODE
Please tweet out your participation in #HourOfCode during coding activties this week. You all are doing some INCREDIBLE things with our codeable resources that the world should see!!!
CHOIR AND BAND VISIT MONDAY
Please join us in the gym (sorry Julie and Julie!!) at approximately 1:30 for our annual visit from the CMSW Fine Arts Department. The performance should last about 30-45 minutes as we will be excited to see our former fourth and fifth graders come back to perform. Fifth grade may want to be packed up in case it leads into Team Time.
CHOIR AND INSTRUMENTAL PERFORMANCE
We will get to hear our Lee fourth and fifth graders performing holiday tunes on Thursday morning. We will call you down following morning broadcast.
CISD HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE
For those of you new to CISD, the CISD Holiday Open House is a BIG DEAL. It is our district's way of saying thank you for all that you do. Please plan to carpool over to admin and stay for some snacks, photos, drawings, and FUN during your conference time. Specials designers and Blue House, let's see if we can get coverage from CK, Ashley, Ayesha, Claudia, Jacque, Candace, and Deepa so that you can enjoy some time there. Get with me if you have ideas.
INNOVATORS MINDSET REMINDER
Don't forget that by next Friday you need to review the "Things to Look for in Today's Classroom" on page 111 of Innovator's Mindset. Visit peers' spaces on a learning walk, find 2 examples that relate to one of these "things to look for." Upload the pictures to the media album, and in the caption, describe how these examples inspire innovation.

LEE LIFE PRINCIPLE:
Justice- being fair, right and upholding what is right
LESSON IN LEADERSHIP:
Never cut in line. If someone cuts in front of you, do not say or do anything about it. Let it happen, but let a teacher know about it. They will handle the situation.
