You have done your very best this week and we are so impressed by you. You continue to show what talented and strong ladies you are. Some of you probably didn't know you were this strong!!! Thank you for lifting each other and keeping your mindsets positive. We have ONE MORE WEEK until Spring Break and we've GOT THIS!
- that Natalie has updated her S'more?
- you can leave school if you get a vaccine appointment and it is during the day? We will do our best to "cover" for each other when this happens so everyone can get their shots in a timely manner.
It’s no secret that eating a nutritious breakfast helps our learners start the school day on the right track. Next week, March 8-12, is National School Breakfast Week! All week long our cafeterias will be featuring new menu items and giving away special prizes to the students who join us for breakfast. This year’s theme is “Score Big with School Breakfast.”
The Coppell Education Foundation is pleased to announce that we are accepting nominations for Superstar CISD educators and employees. The employee must be nominated by other employees or parents. Students at the middle schools may also nominate. Nominations and information can be found in the following links:

COACH'S CORNER
RESILIENCE
Resilience is a life skill that all teachers should focus on throughout learners' education careers. To place an emphasis on resilience in the classroom is to realize that creating people who are able to respond to challenges and setbacks is an important goal of education, if not the goal.
In classroom, conversations about resilience can consistently materialize in a number of ways:
Morning meeting discussions about goal setting and perseverance, including recognizing that everyone has something they are trying to overcome.
Sharing stories (through videos and picture books) about people who have experienced great amounts of adversity and who have overcome the odds by accomplishing their dreams.
Lessons on the goal-setting process with weekly written reflections that address what learners did to work on their goals and what they will do moving forward.
Emphasizing critical thinking in lessons that challenge learners to think about concepts at a deeper level so that learners get the opportunity to put resiliency discussions into action.
Learner-led report card conferences where successes, strengths, weaknesses, and goals are discussed by the student.
Use audiobooks
Look for books on CD, Playaways, or podcasts of the stories you are reading in class. If the stories haven't been recorded, set up a tape recorder and record stories as you read. Newcomers will have the opportunity to listen to a story and read along as many times as they wish.
