Important Info. - Testing
|

|

Hello Lawton Families-
I hope you are all doing well! We are now in the 2nd 9 weeks, and we have accomplished so much. The next testing coming up is the iReady Middle of the Year Diagnostic. This assessment is very telling, as it gives the teachers a lot of information on where the students are both thriving and struggling. This is used to guide instruction to make sure that we are meeting the needs of all of our students.
Some areas that our students can work on to ensure their success is by utilizing the strategies that they are taught. Many of their teachers use acronyms to describe these strategies. They include writing the “gist” of the paragraphs in the margin of a text, underlining evidence, and circling key words. For math, students are taught to underline or circle key information in the problem and to make sure that they are working out all of the problems on paper. Please encourage your children to utilize the strategies that they are taught.
Thank you for your continued support. As always, you can contact me any time with any questions or concerns, alison.roscoe@ocps.net. |

Hello, my name is Rebecca Marquez and I’m so happy to be one of the ESE teachers here at Lawton Chiles. I’ve taught a self-contained, Profoundly Mentally Handicapped (PMH), class in middle school for the last 10 years and have loved every minute of it. Ensuring that all students, regardless of ability, have access to an education is the reason I love to teach, and if I can brighten a student’s day by making them smile and feel loved then I’ve accomplished a lot. This year I’ve decided to step out of my comfort zone by coming to elementary school for the first time, and teaching ESE in a different role (resource/support facilitation) and am so glad that I did! Everyone here at Lawton has been so welcoming, and I continue to learn so much from the great teachers and staff I get to work with every day. |

I went back to school much later in life to pursue my master’s degree in Exceptional Student Education at UCF, and graduated in 2018. I have 2 teenage daughters, and wanted to prove to them that it’s never too late to pursue your goals in life and learn new things. My daughters are both in high school this year (9th & 12th grade), so needless to say I have my hands full there. I try to be a cool Mom and stay up with the trends, but I usually fail miserably and just embarrass myself and my children, lol. Random fact about myself is that I’m addicted to cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies, and am so excited that the season is upon us! |

The LCE Behavior Buzz

Our official PBIS classroom biweekly drawing was another success! Congratulations to Ms. Surico’s class and Ms. Fischer’s 3rd grade class! They were rewarded with a classroom ice cream party and recognized with a PBIS classroom banner! Congratulations!!
Our next drawing will be held in two weeks and students are working so hard to earn their Lawton Loot and a chance for an ice cream party! Keep up the hard work!
Parents: If you capture your child using these skills at home, send in your drawings or photos! We would love to showcase them here!

Explore the Arts and Express Yourself:
The National PTA has a long-standing commitment to arts education. The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.
Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.

To support the development of our school culture centered on social emotional needs we have embedded time in our weekly schedule to provide direct instruction on social emotional learning. Our weekly schedule includes time allotted for health and alternate physical education. This allows our teachers to provide lessons to support the needs of the students in the classroom. Topics often include self awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. The students also receive class instruction with our school guidance counselor bi-monthly. During these lessons the students have the opportunity to apply their skills and role play social scenarios.
One program Lawton Chiles uses to address social emotional needs is Second Step. The Second Step helps teachers and students take a holistic approach to social-emotional learning (SEL), combining classroom SEL with new offerings for out-of-school situations. Second Step helps our students learn compassion in the classroom and common language across environments.
To support the whole child, we encourage families to discuss what students are learning through Second Step and classroom lessons. For more information on Second Steps and other SEL resources, please reach out to our School Counselor, Emma Buchanan. |
