Vol 23: Campus-wide updates during school closures in 2020
Roadrunner Families,
Volume 23: April 22nd, 2020
Wacky Wednesday is here again! This week has been a great one so far, and today we have a poetry feature by Ms. Cox as well as our weekly share of the jokes submitted by our students. Ms. Borris is also back with a Wild Wednesday feature for Earth Day!
This week we are also celebrating Office Staff Appreciation week, we are so thankful for all the hard work that Ms. Sanchez, Ms. Garza and Ms. Perez do to support our school.
Virtual Lee Olympics is coming up this Friday, we can't wait to see how our students are staying active and Coach Rangel has been brainstorming a ton on how to keep this tradition going for 2020.
While we are providing ideas on how to stay active and keep on learning, know that all of us care most that you are staying healthy and safe. Thanks for taking the time to check out the daily updates.
Ms. Sileo

Earth Week / Wild Wednesday!
Writing on Wild Wednesday
For a writing extension, write about all the ways your family uses light for one whole day. What is your greatest source of light? Do you use the lights inside of your home all day, or only at certain times? What fun things do you do with lights?
Math on Wild Wednesday
As a related math activity, write down the times of day using an analog and digital clock to show when you use natural light, or when you use artificial light (lamps, flashlights, etc.). Focus on checking the time and your light use on the half hour, or on the hour since that is how we know how to tell time.
More Fun
Want some additional fun? Here are a few other choices:
Create shadow animals with your hands and a flashlight! Try to have your family members guess the animal you made. Let them take a turn, and you guess their animal!
Shadow tracking- Trace your shadow using chalk from the same starting point every hour and see how it moves. What direction do you notice happening to your shadow as the day passes?
