Taco Tuesday January 30
January is a tough month- between the flu, the cold weather, and everyone getting back into routines, we know you are tired!
On Tuesday, January 30, we are going to cook homemade breakfast tacos in the teacher’s lounge. We will also have coffee and orange juice!
As an added treat, dress in your favorite rodeo/stockshow outfit- which usually includes jeans!
TEKS Resource System Power User
Congratulations Tarah Kozowyk on your hard work with the TEKS Resource System! Here are some ways Tarah and the 4th grade team uses the TEKS Resource System.
I use the TEKS Resource System in many ways. Not only do I print it for the unit I am on, but I also use it for vertical alignment. I have researched 2nd and 3rd grade Writing teks to help with teaching teachers how to incorporate using Mentor Sentences in their allotted grammar and writing time.
My favorite tool to use from the Resource is the TEKS Verification. This is a quick guide for me to see all the writing Teks and in which unit I need to teach them. It’s a quick snapshot instead of the complete printed unit.
Texas Military Heroes Day- February 2
Texas Military Heroes Day
To educate students about the sacrifices made by brave Texans who have served in the armed forces of the United States, the governor shall designate a day to be known as Texas Military Heroes Day in public schools.
Texas Military Heroes Day shall include appropriate instruction, as determined by each district. Instruction may include:
1. Information about persons who have served in the armed forces of the United States and are from the community or the geographic area in which the district is located; and
2. Participation, in person or using technology, in age appropriate learning projects at battlefields and gravesites associated with a person who has served in the armed forces.

Win a Gift Card to your Classroom Library!
Cozy Nook Competition
A classroom library is the heartbeat of a teacher's environment. South Elementary is having a Cozy Nook competition where all classroom libraries will be judged on their environment, organization, and variety. 3 winners from each grade level will receive a prize (gift card to purchase items for your library from approved vendors).
3 things to think about as you are preparing for the Cozy Nook Competition:
Environment - Is your library somewhere students want to hang out?
Organization - Can students find books they want to read? How are books organized?
Variety of books - Are books available at different reading levels and genres?
We are looking forward to seeing all the terrific libraries on campus. Don't forget judging will take place the first week in February 2018.
