Important Information: Testing Update
|

Hello Lawton Families,
This week the window for the iReady End of Year Diagnostic opened. This assessment is both exciting and important. It shows us how much growth our students have shown for the entire school year. The window is from April 11th to April 29th. We can’t wait to see how much our students have learned!
Below you will find the remaining dates for the FSA and state testing. It is important that your student is here and on time on testing days. It was awesome for the 3rd grade reading and 4th and 5th grade writing; everyone was on time! Let’s do it again!!!

How did you discover your passion for education?
In high school, I took a class called ECE
(Early Childhood Education) where the teachers of our high school would bring their child to essentially a preschool. Students enrolled in ECE were assigned to a child and we would plan lessons based on the theme for that week. I loved seeing children grasp knowledge from what I taught them. I loved coming in the next day and hearing from the child what they have learned.
What are some important lessons you have learned from your internship so far?
Classroom management and time management are some of the most important topics I’ve seen in education and throughout both of my internships. Classroom management can be interactive and fun for students and time management is a skill that always can be improved. I learned it takes a lot of practice and patience.
What grade level are you most excited to teach? Why?
3rd - 5th grade. I think I would enjoy working with the independence that the students in the intermediate grade levels have.
In regards to the education field, what would you like to learn more about?
Educational leadership.
Hobbies outside of teaching / something you want others to know about you.
I enjoy outside water activities such as canoeing, swimming , water skiing and tubing. It gives me time to relax with my fiancé and it is something we both love.

How did you discover your passion for education?
Growing up, I’ve always loved helping kids. I knew that I wanted to spend my life creating a lasting impact on the minds of our future!
What are some important lessons you have learned from your internship so far?
During this internship, I have learned how important it is to build and maintain relationships with your students. Make sure that they each know that they can succeed! It is your job to help them find the confidence that you have in them.
What grade level are you most excited to teach? Why?
Going through school, I always imagined myself as a K-2 teacher, but after being in a 5th grade classroom, my love for the older students has grown so much.
In regards to the education field, what would you like to learn more about?
I still feel that there is so much left to learn. I soon hope to continue my education to earn a masters in education.
Hobbies outside of teaching / something you want others to know about you.
My favorite thing to do is spend time with my friends and family, I cherish that time more than anything! If I have any free time, you can find me at the beach. I was born and raised a Boston fan… go Patriots .

How did you discover your passion for education?
Growing up, I’ve always loved being around kids. I finally went into a school with my aunt who is a teacher and fell in love immediately.
What are some important lessons you have learned from your internship so far?
One of the biggest lessons I have learned is the importance of classroom management. I want students to have fun in school, however rules and procedures are needed to create and maintain a successful learning environment.
What grade level are you most excited to teach? Why?
I would love to teach 4th grade. Students in fourth grade are at such a fun age. They are starting to figure out who they are. To me, it is so much fun to create relationships with students.
Hobbies outside of teaching / something you want others to know about you.
One of my favorite hobbies is making t-shirts. I bought myself a cricut and learned how to make iron-ons. I am still trying to learn how to make multiple colors on t-shirts.

Lawton Chiles is so proud of the 5th grade undergraduate interns. Friday, April 22nd is their last day here with us on campus. We congratulate them and wish them all the best!

This past week, Ms. Gutzmore and Mrs. Lowe brought a little excitement to 5th grade science classes. They dressed up like scientists and performed labs to support science standards. Students were interested and engaged in learning about properties of matter and weathering and erosion. These hands-on activities help students understand science concepts. |

The LCE Behavior Buzz
Our PBIS focus for the month of April is “Be Respectful”. Our students and staff will revisit and practice these traits on campus, home and our community by demonstrating their best strategies to “Be Respectful”.
Our students continue to perform an outstanding job modeling our monthly PBIS expected behaviors throughout campus. Students are continuing to be rewarded with ice cream parties and prestige recognition of their efforts. Congratulations to Ms. Perez’s Kindergarten class and Ms. Dellibovi’s 5th grade class for being recognized as the PBIS model classrooms this week! We are very proud of your accomplishments! Enjoy your ice cream parties and teacher gifts!
Upcoming Events: We have exciting news coming with our PBIS store. We are preparing for school spirit shirts and rewards for students demonstrating our PBIS expected behavior! Stay tuned for more details!
Parents: If you capture your child using these skills at home, send in your drawings or photos! We would love to showcase them here!
April PBIS Pro Tip: “Be Respectful” – “I follow safety rules and expectations while in the classroom and around school areas”, “I use listening ears while my teacher is speaking” and “I use kind words to teachers and friends”.
