- Quote of the Week- this was an email that was received this week...WAY TO GO!
I just wanted to send out a quick thank you/ kudos! I have Arussi Barrera in my ELD 3 class. Today she told me that she knew the One-Chunk paragraph because her teacher Mrs. Cantu taught her! You may not know, but this is rare for students coming from 5th grade! She also told me that you were very well organized and she always understood your lessons! So good job, & thanks!

Reminders/Announcements
- UNIFORMS: Please be sure to talk with your students about the importance of wearing their school uniforms. It is mandatory that they where them every day. BOTH girls and boys need to have their sweatshirts unzipped unless it is wintertime outside. Please help us to enforce this new rule. I walked around and noticed this is not happening in every classroom.

- We will be coming around to your PLC Meetings this Wednesday for a moment to explain the Wheel Day practice.
- Please ensure you are out at your spot for duty every morning and afternoon.
