Week of November 5, 2018

Thank you for a fun and memorable Book Character Parade this week!


DID YOU KNOW:
  • elementary learners have the option to publish their work to the public in their Bulb portfolios?  Kasey wrote a blog post for educators to use as a resource. 
  • that the Coppell Gifted Association is looking for 1-2 parents interested in serving as a campus representative for the CGA?  They are also looking for volunteers to judge the Creative Writing Competition.  If you are interested or have interested parents, they can contact Carrie Clark


CLARITY SURVEY
3rd-5th grade designers, PLEASE make sure your learners have completed the clarity survey before leaving school today.


#RJLRESTORATIVEPRACTICES
We had two great days of training on Restorative Practices, in Arlington, this week.  Don't forget to have your chapters read and respond to the slow chat questions before Wednesday's staff meeting.  Your participation will determine if you get flex credit for our book study, so please keep those responses coming so we can learn from one another.  


RED AND BLACK SUPERSTARS
The Coppell Education Foundation recognizes learners and staff members for their hard work.  Anyone can nominate, including your parents, so please share this with them.  The deadline is Friday, November 9, at 5:00pm.  2 learners per grade and 3 employees will be recognized, but ALL nominees will receive a certificate, so the more nominations, the better!  Click here to submit a nomination and here to learn more about the recognition program



TOUR
We have a group of >30 from Frisco this week.  They are high school students in their teacher preparation program.  It is a good time to "wall walk" your classroom.  Invite a housemate in for their opinion.  Maybe it is time to move the furniture around?  Are your anchor charts current?  Do you have current (not older than a month) learner work posted in your space?  Is your LEEdership quality chart current?  Do you have evidence of CBL?  Are your learning targets posted?  Thanks for your attention to these topics!


PTO MEETING
Don't forget to have learners ready to present for each house at 7:00 on Tuesday night.  


CIP
Please send your house documentation to our Admin Team by Friday.   Thank you, Purple House, for already sending us your feedback.


VETERANS DAY
Please share this Veteran's sign up for parents and guests to attend for our Veteran's Day event on Monday, November 12.


CISD APP
Please remind your parents that they should download the CISD Mobile App.  They may not know that they can view items like grades, assignments, attendance, and lunch balances.  They can set up alerts to notify them when grades drop below a certain threshold, too. 


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:
Effort- doing your best in an endeavor

LESSON IN LEADERSHIP:
It is rude to ask if you are getting something for good behavior.  You should be good and try your best because you are trying to better yourself, not because you are anticipating a reward.

LEE QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
"Don't be content with being average.  It is as close to the bottom as it is to the top." -Anonymous
