Benchmark prep is underway. Students are working together and using their strategies to crack the code. It’s a race to break open our prize box! Sampson Elementary #SampsonSTRONG

Book Talk with Mrs. Maddan is always enlightening (and not just for the students)! Parents, your homework over Spring Break is to play Aretha Franklin for your 4th grader. Not a single student on my could sing along. 😱

Don’t forget…TEA also signs $90M+ contract for STAAR testing. That $$$ could be used to pay teachers if TEA would use low-cost, nationally-normed tests like Iowa Standard, PSAT, SAT. No one likes STAAR except the TEA. #txed #txlege

Most people don’t realize that when we pay more in property taxes, public schools are NOT getting more funds for students & teachers & bills. The state just reduces its portion. These funds that SHOULD go to public schools are part of the HUGE state surplus! #txed #txlege

Friday Fun with an Apples on a Stick Showdown with GoNoodle - find us on BSKY! #SamsponSTRONG

Thank you Emilie Manner for such a fun way to review nonfiction! The Mummy King Escape Room is a HUGE hit, and I have already started making another! CFISD ELAR 2-5 Sampson Elementary #SampsonSTRONG

Teamwork at its finest with “Don’t Break the Line.” We had to show perseverance on this one because keeping 23 people on the line is NOT easy! We got it done and celebrated with some extra recess! #SampsonSTRONG Sampson Elementary

Learning about the history of gum with Mr. Wrigley and enjoying some classic flavors! Sampson Elementary

Former Sampson Elementary Stallion at her finest! So proud of you, Victoria!

Class meeting consisted of partners working together to create some masterpieces with only a piece of paper, some dot stickers, and markers. We took a gallery walk and voted on our favorites. Congratulations to “Building of Disasters” for taking 🥇Sampson Elementary

We didn’t get to our class meeting yesterday, so we made it a priority today! We played WHO AM I? Animal version. 11 students were able to guess their animals correctly in less than 10 minutes! Sampson Elementary #SampsonSTRONG

Celebrating one of Sampson Elementary’s finest this morning. We will miss you more than words can say Mrs. Garcia!

Julie Hinaman School choice is the way

Get out and vote for what is best for the future of CFISD- ALL4CFISD

The push by Greg Abbott to pass a voucher/ESA is political. It is not about what is best for kids, schools, communities. If it were, it would be able to stand alone & we would fund our public schools. We are more than $40B behind the natl ave in per student spending. #txed #txlege

So many teachers would agree this is spot on! I do!
