Well done with this year's Write a Check and Story Book Character Parade. Thank you for all of your efforts for the beautiful ways you have told our Lee story on Twitter. I have been so proud of the things I have seen with your design days, your house collaboration, celebrating holidays, recognizing our learners and acknowledging each other. It is clear that our staff goes ALL IN in every campus initiative. THANK YOU for the extra effort you put in. You are a remarkable group!!!
Welcome back to Nikki this week. We missed you! Thank you to Abeer for the incredible job she has done in B2. Abeer is a true rock star and valued and LOVED at Lee Elementary!

PICTURE DAY
We will start school pictures immediately following morning broadcast tomorrow at 8:00 AM. We will follow the Specials schedule so we will start with Kinder Purple, followed by 1st Purple, 2nd Purple, etc. Once Purple House is done we will go to Yellow-> Red -> Green -> Blue. Pictures will take place on the stage and teachers can take their pictures with their classes or before school. Specials and support staff, please get your pictures made between 7:40 AM and 8:00 AM. Specials Designers, we "might" need you to wait with your classes in the cafe if they are not done by their Specials time. Thank you for your flexibility on this day and for excusing the interruption to your teaching and lunch routines. We, hopefully, will have 2 PTO moms helping to facilitate.

COACHES CORNER
Let’s collaborate! Sign up so we can work together.
ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK
Give Think Time/Wait Time. After posing a question, wait about 3-5 seconds before calling on students or having them talk to one another. This wait time allows emergent bilinguals time to think, process, translate, and build the courage to respond. Studies show that the extra wait time increases the number of students’ responses and the quality of responses.
DLC UPDATE
Looking for a way for you or your learners to creatively reflect on all the reasons to be thankful this season, or want to share your love and gratitude for another in a personalized way? Check out the two Thanksgiving Keynote SEL Activity Templates linked here. These templates are ready to be used by you and/or your learners!
