Miss Nelson is Back! That’s the name of the book that Ms. Briceño’s third grade students at Rodriguez Elementary selected for me to read, and you can see how much they loved the story! Miss Nelson is a favorite in this class!

This year in AISD, our focus will be on expanding literacy for all students. And today, I had the chance to encourage students at Rodriguez Elementary School to experience the joy of reading. Before the school year started, I had the opportunity to meet with the school staff, and they were so committed and enthusiastic, I was glad to return to the school to meet the students, too.
The Rodriguez colors are purple, gray, and white, and students here were these colors as part of the school’s standardized dress code. The school colors are displayed throughout the halls, too!
When I dropped in on Mr. Mosier’s fifth grade class, it was time for learning about decimals. The class was studying decimals in two places, like 34.2, but when I wrote a much longer number on the board, they showed they were up to the task. Within just a minute or so, they read this number: 843152069.444. What a bright group!
Thanks for having us today, Roadrunners. And for sharing your delicious PB&J sandwiches (goo gobs on peanut butter with a huge scoop of jelly inside) with our crew. Rodriguez sure is sweet!
