What another terrific week at Lee. It is so hard to believe it is MAY! ENJOY Cinco de Mayo, this week, as you social distance and enjoy some bottomless bowls of chips and salsa at a restaurant, maybe?! THANK YOU for your committee work and ideation. In a weird way it is taking me back to #rjlyear1. Getting to design and create new ways of doing things, it's EXCITING. I cannot wait to hear what you all have come up with, on Wednesday.

Of course, if you need us, PLEASE reach out, but enjoy the extra time this week! YOU DESERVE IT!
LEE LIFE PRINCIPLE:
DID YOU KNOW:
- sweet Beth is going to head back to Wilson next year? She has the opportunity to teach departmentalized 5th grade with a good friend. We are going to miss her greatly and know that we have been blessed to have this year in our lives. Best wishes, Beth! Once a Spur, always a Spur.
- that Kourtney Waggoner is approved by the Board to work at Lee next year? Please feel free to reach out to her at kourtneyfaldyn@gmail.com to welcome her to our FamiLEE. She will be joining either or Kindergarten or First grade team.
I am Kourtney Waggoner, and I am so excited to be joining the FamiLee for the upcoming school year! I grew up in Katy, Texas with parents who are both educators. I graduated from Texas A&M University, Class of 2014, with my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education. I began my journey as an educator in Katy ISD where I taught kindergarten and first grade. After getting married in 2015, my husband and I relocated to San Antonio. I taught kindergarten and special education in Northside ISD. During my time in San Antonio, I completed my M. Ed in Special Education and Behavior Analysis through Texas A&M University. Currently, I serve as a Behavior Specialist for Comal ISD in New Braunfels. Serving in a district-wide role has been extremely rewarding, but I am truly looking forward to being back in the classroom with little, smiling faces greeting me every morning and colleagues to collaborate with on a daily basis! On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, shopping, running outdoors, traveling, playing with our two energetic dogs, and volunteering in programs for kids with various abilities. I cannot wait to meet you all and learn alongside you!

SCATTERGORIES LISTS
If you want to play Scattergories with your kids or family, here are the lists we used during Wednesday's Social Hour.
HAPPY CALLS
I know you are in full swing of distance learning, but it is the perfect time to end the year on a good note. Yes, you are seeing them on ZOOM, but why not take some time and make a happy call to each of your learners in the next couple of weeks? It will pay off for you as much as it will them, trust me!
ESL THIS WEEK
Assess Formatively- GREAT ESL teachers are always assessing their students. They are listening to their conversations both in social settings and in academic contexts. These teachers use multiple forms of assessment throughout the day to gauge their instruction and student learning. They are gathering data to help inform their next steps with their students.
TO DO
- Final check- make sure ALL of your documents are signed in Strive
- Take the staff Panorama Survey
- Complete Panorama Professional Learning
- ENJOY being celebrated next week!
LEE LIFE PRINCIPLE:
