Mrs. Goodwin and Mrs. Nesmith are using their #Lead4ward strategies to begin STAAR review with fifth graders. Students started by sorting out a mystery bag, then participated in cafe conversations with their peers to brainstorm all the awesome activities and experiences that have happened throughout the year. They wrapped up the class period with a tour of knowledge for students to reflect on and celebrate their own thinking and learning!

Mrs. Lattimore and Ms. Velasquez’s East Elementary classes are deciding “Who Would Win?” by researching the structures and functions of animals that enable them to survive and compete in their environments!

The East Elementary third-grade team went all out to kick off the STAAR Rockin' Review!
