THANK YOU for another incredible year at our school. #rjlyear4 was filled with KINDNESS because of each and every one of you. Your hard work, dedication, perseverance, and genuine love of children goes unmatched and you are applauded for all that you have contributed to making our school the fine place that it is! I hope you will always remember that you are were hand picked to be at Lee because of the gifts and talents that you possess. Sometimes you already knew them, other times we brought them out of you. The special and unique blessing is that we are each on our own journey, yet we can all reflect back over the last year and see that we are better because of each other. It is exciting looking forward and dreaming about #rjlyear5!
It will be sad to see some of our famiLEE move on to different paths, however, I feel confident that the bonds, connections, and lessons made at Lee will have a positive impact at your new homes. Britt, Amanda and Jamie will forever be a Lee Spur famiLEE member, and we wish them nothing less than the best. Please keep in touch!
Enjoy your THREE DAY weekend as you get ready for the last (sort of) week of school. We know this is the BEST school, with the AWESOMEST staff and learners. We only get our kiddos 187 days, so make the most of these last 3 1/2 with them! THEY ADORE YOU- AS DO I!
DID YOU KNOW:
- if your learners do not pick up their medication by the last day of school that it will be discarded? Please inform your parents!
- that lost and found filled with clothing? Please ask parents to check lost and found before the last day. Anything not claimed will be discarded or donated.
- that we host a FINAL WALK for 5th graders on the last day of school? Early release is 12:15, so at 12:00 we will ask that you line a path with learners (starting in the cafeteria) around the first floor so that our fifth graders can be recognized by their school. Bring your Kleenex! They walk the building two times and all of us will assist with dismissal duty on the last day.
- Jacque would like some feedback? Please complete this short survey to help her grow and reflect.
- Compliance Training for 2018-2019 will open up for completion during the summer? Look for information in my next blog.
- that you have until JUNE 4 to register for CISD Summer Professional Learning, until 5pm? You have to register through Eduphoria so that presenters are prepared and unenroll a day in advance if you are unable to attend.
MEMORIAL DAY CARDS
Don't forget to bring down your class cards for Memorial Day by the end of the day on Friday. We will deliver them to the DFW National Cemetery on Saturday, May 26 at 9:00 a.m. This is a rewarding experience, so feel free to join in. Please put each card in a gallon sized ziploc bag. Don't worry, we will add the rocks for you, at the cemetery. Designers, PLEASE resend this invitation and map home, to your class, so that their parents have information about the event.
FARMERS MARKET AT LEE
Our Garden Gurus have done an outstanding job this year! They will be hosting a Farmer's Market on Tuesday afternoon from 3:00-3:30 to sell the items they have grown. There are potatoes, carrots, herbs, onions, shallots, peppers, AND MORE! Learners are creating the flyer, and I will tweet it out for you to share in your newsletters as soon as they are done. Learners can shop before leaving or stay with a parent and shop. All proceeds go back to our school garden. Please help us spread the word!
PONYTAIL CLUB

ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK:
Read Your Writing Backward
When you read your writing, your brain will often autocorrect any spelling errors you may have made so that you don't notice them. To catch them, you can try to read your writing from the last work, back to the first. Point crisply under each word as you read it out loud. As you go, think, "Does this look right?" (Taken from The Writing Strategies Book by Serravallo)
