What a week, friends! THANK YOU to all of you who stepped up in BIG ways. Whether it was being a learner at Reading Academy, helping in a different capacity this week as we had sub shortages, staying late to learn at staff meeting, or being there for a teammate or colleague that needed you. YOU DID IT! YOU CRUSHED IT AGAIN THIS WEEK! Do you know what is a month away? DECEMBER TO REMEMBER!!! We are excited thinking about how to celebrate each of you. Get ready!
DID YOU KNOW?
- Monday is not only wear Red Day, but is is Diwali? Please invite learners to wear their traditional clothing this day. They are so proud of their heritage and culture and we want to celebrate that.
- you are doing a great job getting communication approved by CISD? Please do not send any links in your newsletter that haven't come from the blog.
- if you download the Lead4ward app that you can access "quick checks" and "think it up" activities to support formative assessment with your learners? This is a great next step after Wednesday's training.
- that we have a partnership with St. Augustine University and their occupational therapy department? You may see cameras or videographers on campus because they have learners who are designing costumes for some of our learners in wheelchairs. These visitors are approved by the district.
- you still have time to nominate this year's Teacher of the Year? Here is the TOY Website and Nomination Criteria and Form. Nominations are due November 4. Please turn them in to CK.
- PTO would like kids to vote on the Nov. 11 movie to be played at FamiLEE Movie Night? Please let them use this form or QR code.
President’s Message Dear FamiLEEs, At Richard J. Lee Elementary, our first priority is ensuring we are able to give our learners the tools they need to learn and grow. As an Apple Distinguished School, National School of Character, and Kindness Certified School, as well as the second largest elementary school in CISD, you can see why our campus is consistently ranked among the area’s top schools. Will you join us in working toward that goal? All donations can be submitted directly at rjleepto.membershiptoolkit. Your contribution will make a huge impact in all of the activities the PTO and school has planned that will benefit ALL learners. When parents like you give back to our school, Richard J. Lee Elementary is able to lay the groundwork for future student achievement. |
Currently, we are at less than 2% of participation rate. Please consider donating today - we appreciate your generosity! Note: only electronic donations are accepted (do not send in cash or check to the school). Thank you! |

Does implementing digital workflows in the classroom have you feeling like a contestant on the TV show, Nailed it? Never fear, Schoolwork is here! Not only is Schoolwork designed to assist in “cooking up” collaboration using Pages, Keynote and Numbers, but there are features that can put the “icing on the cake” for learners using 1:1 iPads in the classroom. Are you up to the Schoolwork Nailed it! Challenge? Join me at flex time for a delicious afternoon learning about digital workflows.
Have Students Collaborate With Peers. Through peer collaboration, students learn in ways that we, teachers, can’t provide. Learning is social. When multilingual students collaborate with monolingual English-speaking peers the reciprocal learning that happens among them is invaluable. Group work, Jigsaw approach, literature circles, and book clubs are just a few examples of collaborative settings.
Pixel Art is a great way to review concepts with one correct answer. You can use pixel art to review spelling, math, vocabulary terms and more. As students answer the question correctly, a picture will begin to appear. This is a great self-checking activity for students. Click here to see how you create your own pixel art activity with the concept you teach! Want to try it out? Check out this CVC Example or book Alli to learn more!
