Week of November 26, 2018

They say it takes a village to raise a child.  It takes a village to be at Lee!  In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am reflecting about they many blessings at our school.  Every one of you are a blessing to me.  You are not taken for granted and appreciated beyond measure.  Each of you choose to come to Lee and work hard, daily, to bring our school building to life for our learners.  Your passion for learning, your flexibility and your heart shines in all you do.  May you come back ready to tackle the last week of November and prepare for a "December to Remember!" (New hires- ask someone what we mean by that!!)

DID YOU KNOW:

• Stormy and Karli have notes from the Superintendent's Advisory Council?  If you have any questions, please see one of them.
• that you can send work from Seesaw to Bulb? Click on this link to take you through and your learners through the steps! 
• we are going to start dismissing from the gym at 7:35 in the morning now?  We talked about this at our Leadership Meeting. 
• we have a new Spur arriving?  Guess who?

CISD FOCUSED WALKTHROUGH

This week we will give feedback on Domain 2 Dimension 5:  Monitor and Adjust.  We will be looking for evidence of how you are managing and monitoring learner engagement.  Are you noticing when you need to adjust pacing?  Are you scaffolding your questioning?  How are you checking for understanding along the way?  

LEE LIFE PRINCIPLE:

Fairness- playing by the rules

LESSON IN LEADERSHIP:

Whenever you are offered food, whether it be a birthday treat or a snack, never take more than your fair share.

LEE QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

"Fairness doesn't mean that everyone gets the same.  Fairness means that everyone gets what they need." -Rick Riordan
