Teacher spotlight is on the incredible Mrs. Casillas in Pre-K4!
She was caught in circle time with her students as they enjoyed learning about feelings. She teaches Emotion Words: It gives children the specific words they need to talk about what is happening inside them. The students were engaged and participated in the pre-vocabulary lesson before she read the book “The Way I Feel”.
Keep up the great work Mrs. Casillas and students! Shout out to Teacher Aide - Ms. Gallegos who was prepping the rotation centers for the students while they were engaged in the lesson.
📖 Great job 👏🏼 Eagles! 🦅💜💛

Students from J.W. Nixon High School woke up bright and early and reported to J.C. Martin Elementary School. Nixon High varsity football players, cheerleaders and band members lined up to greet students at the drop-off. They gave high-fives, handshakes, words of encouragement and posed for pictures with the young students as they started their school day. Some students even stopped and tried on the players helmets.
This Weeks Teacher Spotlight goes to our Music Teacher, Mr. Andrade! What a joy it was to see the pre-K 3 students engaged in the lesson, happy, participating, and learning! Teachers like you help our school shine ✨💜💛✨ 🎶 🎵 🎸💿🪇🥁🎹
