Mrs. Craft's 4th graders are working in collaborative pairs to prepare for their reading and writing benchmark test tomorrow. Pairs get to move their game piece through the game board when they answer questions correctly. 🧠 💪 📖

Staff Spotlight: Caren Lewis
Ms. Lewis is known for her "Caren Lewis" show and her bright smile. She is always eager to jump in and help where she is needed. She offers to help with professional developments with teachers and totally knows her TEKS for 5th grade. Ms. Lewis is always ready to learn more and is on fire with her 5th grade team. You can find Ms. Lewis working on lesson plans, running 5 laps in the morning, cooking some really good food, and creating a family environment for her students. Clarkston Elementary is so proud and lucky that she chose to work with us.
Thank you, Ms. Lewis for all you do for our staff and students. 🐾
