STAAR Buddies Round 2!!
On May 8-10, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will be taking STAAR tests. Please get with your STAAR buddies to plan out what you will do to encourage and help out this students during testing. If you forgot who your STAAR buddies are, the paper is hanging on my door!
Some items to plan gathering with your STAAR buddy team:
- water bottles
- tissue packets
- a little snack (other than goldfish, pretzels, and peppermints)
- an encouraging note or poster
Our Comet of the Week is...Ashley Smith!!
Mrs. Witte nominated Ms. Smith (intermediate ELA specialist) for the following reasons, "Over the years I have worked with many specialists. As a brand new specialist Ashley has gone above and beyond to help our language arts team. She is very organized and always come prepared to meetings with information and help for us. As a teacher new to the team she was particularly helpful to me. Thanks, Ashley!"
Ms. Smith will receive the privileged Comet of the Week parking space for the week, a jeans pass, and a snack shack coupon, as well getting to nominate the next Comet of the Week! Congratulations!
