Comet of the Week is Ms. Olga Astorga!
Mrs. Ratcliff has nominated Ms. Astorga, our Reach 2/3 teacher! She says, "I would like to nominate Olga Astorga. Ms. Astorga is very dedicated to the students that she services. Ms. Astorga spends a great deal of time planning and preparing for her students to be successful. Ms. Astorga is willing to share materials and give insight to others who may have students that need extra time and attention with visual supports and ideas to help assist with the affective domain to reach students."
Congratulations Ms. Astorga! Please stop by the Comet of the Week bulletin board and write a note for Ms. Astorga during the next two weeks! Ms. Astorga will earn a jeans pass, snack shack coupon, and the opportunity to nominate the next Comet of the Week!

Below are a few great links you are welcome to explore if you need a few more ideas for quick lessons, conversations, indoor recess, independent reading time, etc. Please be cognizant of your grade level and student age when reviewing and using the links. The first link is to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, which has some very interesting links and exhibits you can explore virtually, either for yourself or to share with students.
