YOU MADE IT!  One more week and Thanksgiving break is ALL YOURS!  Your Admin Team acknowledges the many blessings of being at Lee Elementary, and one of our most important blessings is EACH OF YOU!!   Enjoy this week with our children and each other.  We heard how much you enjoyed lunch from Politano's today.  We have great news- there is plenty of food left over if you would like some more tomorrow! 

DID YOU KNOW:

• Friday is CISD FUN FRIDAY at Lee Elementary?  A surprise has been dropped off in each of your mailboxes.  Please shout them out on social media.
• tomorrow is World Kindness Day?  Don't forget to wear your Kind shirts.

DLC UPDATE

Did you know that you can use Apple Classroom as a quick formative assessment? Airdrop the keynote (linked below) to your class, and you have a variety of ways to create a quick check for your students. You can choose between multiple choice, drawing and true or false. Using Apple Classroom, share the keynote in one click, and use the classroom view to see all the student's answers on one screen. Reach out to your DLC today, to learn more about how to implement Apple Classroom in your own room! Click here to go the DLC Bulb page to grab the resource! It is titled: Apple Classroom Whiteboard near the bottom of the page.

COACH'S CORNER

We see great examples of Math Workshop throughout our building.  Please review this graphic created by Samira when helping to design your math block or to affirm what you are already doing.

 

ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK

Set academic goals together

Meet frequently with ELs (especially in middle grades and higher) to discuss where they are and next steps. All students need to know their target. If they don’t know where they are headed, then they may be wandering aimlessly. ELs have a lot on their plates, managing both academics and language, setting goals with them helps them to narrow the focus. The important thing is that you confer frequently with your students, letting them know that you care about them, their success, and that you are their biggest cheerleader. This is a great time for ELs to ask you questions. If they aren’t, you can invite them to do so. Once they become comfortable enough, they will.
