Week of April 23, 2018

Thank you, ALL, for a lovely volunteer breakfast for our volunteers. The tours this week were wonderful and we really could see that you put a focus on the areas they were looking to investigate while they were here.  THANK YOU for that!  Some additional guests from a STEM school in GA joined in on the Frisco tour, today, and complimented how our learners can talk about their learning and how they use accountable talk!  What great evidence of our campus goal.  We can't wait to see how you use the building when we walk with tomorrow's guests.  We wish Priscilla well as she is recognized at the Teacher of the Year banquet on Tuesday Night.

DID YOU KNOW:

• that Front Row Math is now Freckle Math?  To learn more, check out this blog post.
• that Wendy and one of our learners are in a training video accessible on YouTube?  Wendy will sign autographs at our next staff meeting. :)
• that you need to electronically sign your TTESS Formal Evaluation and your Summative Evaluation?  Once you have your summative, please go in and sign both.
• Megan had baby Paxton on Wednesday?  Both mommy and baby are doing well.  We are excited about our newest FamiLEE member!

CITIZENS OF THE YEAR

Please make sure your Citizen of the Year is on this document to turn in to the district. We need to know who is attending, so please update the document by Wednesday, April 25. This will ensure we meet our district deadline and give us the opportunity to draw 24 learner names. 

SCHOOLWORKS LUNCHEON

We are #luckyatlee to be growing partnerships with our community.  Thanks to Angela's outreach we have multiple learners who are being mentored through IBC's Schoolworks Program.  Their group will be bringing a grill to the cafeteria patio and grilling out burgers for the entire staff on Thursday.  3-5 learners may need to adjust how they exit/enter the building to make sure they are safe.  ENJOY!

RJL LOVE AND CBL SOLUTION AT CMSW

For those interested in helping the CMSW Choir Teacher, Mrs. Hartzell, you are welcome to contribute $10, or more, to wear jeans the entire month of May.  We will have an envelope in the front office to collect your donations.  On May 1, we will send a donation from our FamiLEE.  Thanks for your consideration!  


SPRING MOVIE NIGHT
Join us on Friday night for Movie on the Lawn Night.  Bring a blanket or chair and cuddle up for CoCo.  PTO will be serving refreshments and snacks at 7:30 and the movie begins at 8:00.  We hope you can be there. 

OUR GUIDING PURPOSE: We empower learners to positively impact the world by designing learning experiences that promote relationships, risk taking, and collaboration in a flexible environment.

What YOU are doing to do to LIVE out this VISION at Lee?

CISD FOCUSED WALKTHROUGH

This week we will continue to give feedback on Domain 2 Dimension 5:  Monitor and Adjust.  We will be looking for evidence of input from learners, how you adjust instruction and activities to maintain learner engagement, pacing of your lesson, how you check for understanding along the way, and how you adjust to meet the varying needs of your learners throughout the lesson.
