You made it! One more week until Spring Break!!! Thank you for all you are doing to get your learning spaces set up for Open House. It is a HUGE deal to have parents in the building and there is so much learning to showcase. Please make sure all extra furniture is moved out of your spaces and that collabs are as organized as your learning spaces. We've GOT THIS!
today is our student teacher, Mitzi's last day? She has been working in Practical Academics. Please wish her well if you see her.
you are welcome to help build bikes on Friday, after school? Ask Coach Hall if you would like more information or just join us in the gym.

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.
NATIONAL SCHOOL BREAKFAST WEEK
It’s no secret that eating a nutritious breakfast helps our learners start the school day off right! Next week, March 6-10, is National School Breakfast Week. All week long our cafeterias will be featuring a new menu item. This year’s theme is “Dig Into School Breakfast."
SCHOOL PICTURE DAY
Monday is staff and class picture day. Please plan to be here by 7:10 for our staff photograph in the cafeteria. Immediately after arrival, we will start calling your classes down for class and individual pictures. It is imperative you drop what you are doing and hustle down, so we can try to get learners through before PE or recess. Please line your learners up from shortest to tallest before coming down. Lastly, remember that lunch is in your spaces, this day, as the photographers will need the entire cafeteria.
PTO MEETING
I will send an email to parents through Parent Square with a Zoom Link on Tuesday morning. Please advertise in your weekly newsletter. We will have a visit from Dr. Balarin from CMSW and a Bond Presentation.
AUTHOR VISIT
On Wednesday, we will host an author visit for all grades. To facilitate our guest, we will operate on a GRADE LEVEL schedule on this day. Thank you for being at your presentations on time and for ensuring that we continue to transition using HALL so that our visit is uninterrupted.
LEE COLOR RUN
FamiLEEs can donate funds here, and the color run will take place on Thursday. We will work on a DAY 4 NO TEAM TIME schedule this day. You all are doing an awesome job of hyping Color Run up and earning money for our school. If you plan to participate with your learners, beware that the color can get on your shoes- we don't want you wearing your faves. T-shirts will be delivered for you and your learners as soon as they arrive. I'm fine if you wear joggers. WE APPRECIATE YOU!
Also, PTO will gift the top designer in each house $50 in classroom supplies (of their choice) from Amazon (PTO will order on their behalf).
PTO will provide Sonic drinks for the entire staff on Color Run Day.
OPEN HOUSE
We are excited to host Open House on Thursday. Front and rear doors will be unlocked for entrance at 5:30. This is a "come and go" event so parents can stay as long as they like. Don't forget to invite parents to stop by the cafeteria to see the beautiful artwork our learners have created. FamiLEEs can purchase artwork and take it home. All proceeds from the Art Show go back to our Art program. Please plan to dress professionally for Open House.
SPIRIT RALLY
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.
CISD JOB FAIR

COACH'S CORNER
Let’s collaborate! Sign up so we can work together.
ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK
Link new information to prior knowledge. Teachers need to consider what schema EB students bring to the classroom and to link instruction to the students’ personal, cultural, and world experiences. Teachers also need to know what their students do not know. They must understand how culture impacts learning in their classroom.
