From October through December, I was the cooperating teacher for my first student teacher, Ms. Schroeder. It was a very rewarding experience for me and for the class. Ms. Schroeder was an excellent student teacher and was a big help during the first semester. The class and I wish her the best of luck in her teaching career. Please keep in touch.
During this time, we had two students move away. Lissette and Sung Min will be missed and we hope they are loving their new schools.
The most important thing that happened to Las Colinas Elementary during the fall semester was that we finally received notification that all of our hard work had finally paid off. We are now an Authorized IB World School. It is such an honor to now be an official part of such a prestigious organization. And it is really more than just being able to say we are an IB school...our students are gaining a new way of looking at the world around them and will be better citizens.
We are now gearing up and getting ready for the upcoming TAKS tests. Our first test as 4th graders will be the TAKS Writing test on March 3. The students are doing a great job writing and will continue to improve as the weeks wind down to test time. I must thank the 3rd grade teachers for doing such a great job of spending time focusing on writing. It is much easier to fine tune the writing of 4th graders if they already have the basics for good writing.
