You made it to Spring Break! WAHOO! Please enjoy taking time for yourself over the week. Travel. Sleep in. Read a book. Binge watch some TV. Do what makes YOU happy! You have EARNED IT!
DID YOU KNOW:
- there is a resource with three strategies to align teaching and technology? Thanks Leigh Ann for sharing!
- we will clean out the lounge fridges at 1:00 on Friday. Please make sure you get your items so they are not discarded.
OPEN HOUSE
Thank you for ALL of your preparations. The building is looking SO ALIVE! If you have learners of staff members, please give them time after school or before Open House starts to be a parent and see their work. Please plan to be in your spaces, READY, for our guests who will be here promptly at 5:30. A reminder email will go to all parents at 9:00 reminding them of the Art Show and time.
COLOR RUN
Color Run shirts should not be sent home and learners will change into them before going to Speicals on Color Run Day. Please permit learners to change if they want to change out of their Color Run t-shirt. The powder used is non-toxic and washes off with plain water, so don't panic. Thank you, designers, for staying with your house and helping with safety during the run portion of Specials. Thank you support staff for assisting, too. We can't wait to find out which classes get $50 of supplies from PTO. Have FUN! I will be out as much as I can. We will announce when Sonic drinks are here.
FRIDAY / SPIRIT RALLY DAY
We will wrap up the 9 weeks with our Spirit Rally on Friday. We will follow a Day 5 NO TEAM TIME Schedule. Since staff members could be "colored," we will host our Spirit Rally the last hour of the day. During Spirit Rally we will also announce the winners of the Yearbook Contest.
HOUSE FIELD TRIPS
Here is the link to share with famiLEEs: https://www.schoolpay.com/pay/for/Richard-J-Lee-Kidzania-Field-Trip/SUDEbi Remember, if a learner pays you cash or check, you need to complete this form and turn funds into the office at the end of each day. Due to our Field Trip we will have adjusted schedules (GRADE LEVEL). For those who like to plan ahead, please check out the staff calendar. Here is the chaperone list for each day. Please make sure the cafeteria knows how many lunches you need.

Let’s collaborate! Sign up so we can work together.
ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK
Determine key concepts for the unit and define language and content objects for each lesson. Teachers write the key concept for a unit of study in student-friendly language and post it in the room. New learning should be tied to this concept. Additionally, teachers should begin each lesson by writing a content objective on the board. At the end of the lesson, students should be asked if the objective was met. Classroom teachers also need to set language objectives for the ELLs in their class. A language objective might be to learn new vocabulary, find the nouns in a lesson, or apply a grammar rule.
