Snyder Intermediate School classes that achieved the highest percentages of their STAAR goals had a decision to make - hit Mrs. Cade with a pie in the face or drench her with a bucket of ice water. Mrs. Cade is a great sport, wouldn’t you agree?

What is ESSER? Congress has set aside approximately $11.2 Billion for the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER Fund). These grants will be awarded to provide schools with emergency relief funds to address the impact that COVID-19 has had and continues to have on elementary and secondary schools across the Nation.
We’ve been celebrating our teachers across the district this week! Here are a few photos of the fun at Snyder Intermediate School!
As we come to the end of Teacher Appreciation Week I am compelled to proclaim that every day should be “Teacher Appreciation Day”! As I have said many times before, short of the clergy there is not a more honorable profession than being a teacher. Every day teachers inspire students, change lives and truly shape the world.
Our teachers do so much more than just teach reading, writing, and arithmetic; they also deal with countless issues that students bring with them to school each and every day. Snyder ISD is blessed to have amazing teachers, so on this last day of Teacher Appreciation Week, I say THANK YOU!
Sincerely,
Eddie Bland, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools, Snyder ISD
The first round of STAAR testing begins tomorrow! Fourth grade students and Snyder High School English 1 and English 2 students will test this week.
Tue 4/27 • STAAR: English 1
Tue 4/27 • STAAR: 4th Grade Writing
Thu 4/29 • STAAR: English 2
Here are a few last-minute reminders:
1. Go to bed at a reasonable time. (10 hours of sleep is optimal.)
1. Eat a good breakfast (with protein if possible). Arrive early if you plan to eat breakfast at school.
2. Be to school early to have plenty of time to get ready for testing. We start testing at 8:00 am.
3. Students will need their laptops FULLY charged! This is important so that they don't have to worry about running out of battery during the test. The teachers only have a certain amount of outlets and we want students to be sitting in their optimal spot to be successful.
4. Encourage your child and tell them to do their best. They have been working very hard and we are proud of them!
Parents have also been sent specific information from their school principals through ParentSquare.

If yesterday is any indication, the future for the SHS Speech and Debate team looks bright!
Fifth graders have been studying argumentative text and the students have been researching a topic all week. Mr. Birks, Mrs. Goodwin, and Mrs. Lewis’ classes had a live debate. Topics included, “Should 5th graders have smartphones?” and “Should students wear uniforms?”. The students did an excellent job presenting their arguments!

Mrs. Callaway’s 4th grade class is working on sequence of events in a text...with a science twist! They read about all the things a drop of water can do and then tested the sequences themselves.

Students took a classic childhood story to the next level! After reading "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" students in Mrs. Lewis’ class were given 10 pieces of paper and 2 feet of masking tape to build a chair, table, or bed that would hold a bag of pennies. The structure that held the most pennies got a prize.
Students completed a STEM reflection written activity explaining their thought process, design reasoning, and results. Blending STEM and reading through hands-on activities makes learning more fun and memorable!

Spring Break is right around the corner, but there is a lot of work to be done!
✏️ Benchmark Testing: Snyder Primary 3rd grade, Snyder Intermediate, and Snyder Junior High School students are taking benchmark tests this week. Please visit with your child and remind them that it is important that they do their best on this test. We will use the data from this assessment to determine any instruction gaps that need to be revisited.
✏️ End of the 4th Six Weeks: It's also the end of the six-week grading period for Snyder Junior High and Snyder High School students. Finish strong!

“I’ll never use this in real life.” Not so! Ms. Larrea’s 4th grade class used a cookie recipe that incorporated a variety of different fractions. Students decomposed fractions while using measuring cups.
