Week of February 12, 2018

Thank you for the wonderful PLC work I have been hearing about during your Team Times.  Ashley and Jacque have been bragging about the learner and professional growth conversations that are happening.  WAY TO GO!  We appreciate your flexibility with the large tours that have been coming through the building.  Our Board Walk went beautifully.  CMSW Educators were impressed. Huffman ISD continues to be inspired.  Please know what an amazing impact you are having on the people who tour through our building!  


DID YOU KNOW
  • that there is a possibility that Nelson will be back on campus on March 6-8, April 17-19, or in May?  It is in the planning stages, and I will keep you posted as I learn more from the district!
  • that the Fun Run is quickly approaching?  I will be forwarding an email from APEX so that you are informed of how you can help support this fundraising effort.  Remember you get 10% of what your class earns for use on items of your choice!  All Fun Run dates are on the staff calendar.  Pay attention to the Teacher Huddle (2/26), Pep Rally (3/5), and Fun Run (3/23) dates. 
  • we have something special planned for you each Friday in February?  The fun starts tomorrow!
                           

MORNING ARRIVAL
Please be mindful to be at school by 7:10 each morning.  You are doing a great job of texting if you are stuck in traffic, but we need a friendly reminder to everyone to be here on time.  Thank you for your cooperation.


VALENTINES DAY
Wednesday will be a Day 1.  First Grade will meet on Day 7 (Tues) this week and Specials will meet on Day 1 (Wed) during class parties.  Please look at the Winter/Valentine Party tab for the day's schedule.  Purple House- THANK YOU for your lunch flexibility so that we can be ready for the Cyber Bullying program ,at 1:00, in the cafe.

If you receive Valentine candy that you want to donate to River Oaks Assisted Living, send it down to the office, on Thursday, so that we can deliver it for you.


STUDENT SERVICES SURVEY
CISD has requested that 3-5 graders take the following survey.  It will take less than 10 minutes and must be completed by February 28.  


CISD FOCUSED WALKTHROUGH
This week we start a new focus for our walkthroughs.  We will give feedback on Domain 2 Dimension 1:  Achieving Expectations.  We will be looking for evidence that your learners have mastered content and are held to high levels of accountability for their learning.  This looks like self-assessing, reflecting on menu work or assignments, posting to Schoology or SeeSaw, etc. 

ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK:
Use the Room
When you feel stuck, scan the walls of the classroom.  Search for a chart or piece of work that shows the same thing you’re working on as a writer.  Think about the step of your process, and the work you’re trying.  Take a tip from one of the charts, and get back to work!
