Counselor's Corner
Rita Garcia, MTE school counselor, came by this month to do a guidance lesson with our students. Every class received a lesson on Kelso Choices and a lesson on using "kind words".
More "monster launching"
Look what we got!
Thanks to Mrs. Vincent and to Mrs. Sifuentes for working to get us our brag/message board. If you'd like to display upcoming information or share student success stories, email me the information/picture. I'll add it to our running slideshow.
Still "flipping" Over Flippity.net
First grade students had fun practicing sight words using the Random Name Picker template on the Flippity.net website. Instead of entering names on the template spreadsheet, I entered sight words. The spinner landed on a word and students identified it. (4.1.0)
Check out our great library displays!
Thanks to our library paraprofessional, Deysi Whitlock, for keeping our bulletin board looking great!
Buddha Boards - just add water for a great learning experience!
Students were excited to use Buddha Boards which were provided from an AISD Education Foundation grant. Fourth grade students discussed the works of Keith Haring and then created their own art. (5.1.1)
