*Teachers, please complete the Teacher Perception Inventory for those students you referred to GT. I sent out the 3rd grade teacher forms, but 4th grade will be out after lunch today.
*ELA teachers, I will need help grading the GT student writing samples. I will place a few compositions in your boxes on Friday. Please grade them using the STAAR rubric 1-4 guidelines. I will email you the prompt. The 3rd graders did a Narrative Writing and 4th grade did an Expository Writing sample. Thanks for helping with this.
*Please turn in the Anchored 4 Life Crew member badges. Place them in my box in the front lounge.

The agency has 11 “Great Garden Detective Adventure” lessons for third and fourth graders. The lessons encourage students to sample new fruits and vegetables. Download PDFs of the lessons today.
