#FutureHornetGraduates
The ECC Buzz
We had a great turn out (and great weather!) for our Family Picnic
last month. Thank you parents, friends and family members who
were able to attend. We would also like to thank the parents who
volunteered during the Texas Public Schools Week “Career Day.”
We had pilots, lawyers, a nurse, a waitress, an aesthetician, a social
worker, a game warden, a police officer, a football player, a pharmacy technician and more!
We are in the last nine weeks of school and it’s hard to believe we
are quickly approaching the last days of the school year. In order to
prepare our students with a solid foundation for the next grade level,
regular school attendance is very important. Learning builds day by
day. As always, please let us know if you have any questions or
concerns.
Thanks, Amy Seeds and Ivonne Sandoval

Counselor’s Corner
Kindergarten classes are discussing personal safety. We will read
the story “My Body Is Mine” and
review personal safety rules. We’ll
finish our unit of study by coloring
a poster to take home.
Prekindergarten students will learn
about the difference between normal conflict and bullying and will
review Kelso’s Good Character
Traits. We are working on problem
solving and when they should seek
adult help for a big problem.
