Happy Thursday, sweet ladies. What a GREAT week spreading and celebrating kindness throughout our lives. I am reminded, daily, what a blessing it is to be at Lee Elementary with each of YOU! Hearing you champion each other and your learners, as well as support and love one another communicates what a special group we have. THANK YOU for being YOU!
Looking forward to taking your banners over to West in the morning. Please send them with your LEEders at their designated time.
DID YOU KNOW:- we are going to start collecting the money for our school-wide field trip to Kid Zania in March? We will be collecting $20 per child to attend the field trip. Blue House goes on 3/21, Purple and Yellow Houses go on 3/22 and Green and Red Houses go on 3/24. Please keep track of who turns in money or checks to you and Abeer will be sending out the link to School Pay.
- that we will be hosting our CISD Job Fair on April 1? If you are interested in helping recruit and interview for Lee Elementary, please email CK to share your interest. There will be brief confidentiality and interview training required.
100th DAY OF SCHOOL
Can you believe we have already been in school 100 days? We are more than halfway through the year! Feel free to participate on Tuesday.
WORLD READ ALOUD DAY
WRAD is Wednesday February 1st, and we can’t wait to celebrate at Lee! Librarians have created a district-wide WRAD spreadsheet where volunteers such as admin, board members, CHS Red Jackets, etc. can sign up to volunteer to read. If some of our RJL 5th graders would like to sign up to volunteer to read, a designer can sign the learner up on the left-hand side of this spreadsheet as well. Note that you will highlight the times they are available in yellow.
Teachers who would like to have a reader in their classroom may sign up on this same spreadsheet.
Holly will also be showing some live WRAD Author Videoconferences in the Flex Space on this day. Sign up here to come listen to a read aloud from an author!
FLEX LEARNING
FABULOUS FRIDAYS IN FEBRARY
Your Admin Team wants to communicate how loved you are! We are hosting Fabulous Fridays the whole month of February to show you and can't wait for everyone to join in.
SAVE THE DATE- BOOK FAIR COMING SOON
Many designers created their own eWallets during the Fall Book Fair and were able to use funds donated by parents to grow their classroom libraries! I would like to be sure that every designer has an eWallet for this fair, and I will create a booklet of QR codes so that parents at the fair can scan and donate. You can also share the link to your eWallet via your newsletter, etc.
Step 2: Fill out this Google Form to share your link with Holly. Step 3: Share your link with parents so they can help grow your classroom library!
We need parent volunteers for our upcoming Book Fair! No experience necessary! Volunteers must have completed a CISD background check. Sign up to volunteer at the Book Fair here:
COACH'S CORNER
Let’s collaborate! Sign up so we can work together.
ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK
Collaborate with Colleagues. Collaborating with our colleagues helps our students. We need each other. Our colleagues know things that we don’t know and we can learn from one another. As an ESL Co-Teacher and later an Language Acquisition Specialist, I had the honor of going into classrooms and working alongside numerous teachers on my campus/district. That was the best professional learning. Our peers are our greatest teachers!
