Our first round of STAAR testing is complete! The 4th and 5th graders did a great job. Also this week began TELPAS, which is an assessment that evaluates the English acquisition for all our second language learners. We can now breathe for a couple of weeks until round 2, which is the week of April 20th.
While the "big" kids were testing, the kindergartens took a field trip to the Crowe's Nest.
As always, they enjoyed feeding the animals.
Third graders visited the Wild Flower Center.
These students' projects were displayed at the new performing arts center, PAC.
Have you ever come to a "Friday" assembly early? If you get a change, do. Often an activity called GoNoodle is on and the student love moving to it. This activity was called "Run Like a Kitty". The students loved it!
During assembly this morning, kindergarten students made a "Love Train".
The district has created a collage of videos from all
the high schools. The theme was “A day
in the life of…” I had the pleasure of
viewing the video at the new PAC a couple of weeks ago. It was amazing to see the talent of so many
students as well as share in their stories.
I encourage you to watch the movie.
It can be found on the front page of the district website at www.austinisd.org.
Please remember this is a three day weekend. See everyone back here on Monday.
