Talladega City Schools Pre-K Program

Hal Henderson is home of the Talladega City Schools Pre-K Program. Mrs. Angela Capers, a "highly qualified" teacher with exceptional talents, developed the program during the 2008-2009 academic year. Mrs. Karen Graves, a "highly qualified" paraprofessional, works collaboratively with the 2010-2011 teacher, Mrs. Patricia Cook, to continously move the program forward. Mrs. Cook was previously our State Department of Education Technical Assistant who evaluated our program. We have 18 students enrolled in Pre-K. I am also pleased to announce that our site has been recognized by the State Department of Education as "exemplary."

Thank You Parigi's!



October's Supper Club was awesome! Parigi's Pizza in Talladega sponsored this monthly event. The service, food, and fellowship was excellent.
Supper club was well attended this month by faculty, staff, and parents. Although we filled the entire bottom floor of the restaurant, we were proud to move in additional tables and chairs from upstairs. A large crowd gives all of us the opportunity to communicate, discuss and make plans for our "little ones!"We also surprised and rewarded one Kindergarten student, Jahquan Cunningham, with a limousine ride. Jahquan was our top cookie dough seller! He sold over 50 tubs of cookie dough raising over $700.00. As you can see in the the picture, he was excited and shy, but enjoyed the ride.Mrs. Wilson, a Henderson parent, received a limo ride back to her car. She was thrilled!/> />

As you can see from the smiling faces, the faculty/staff, parents & students all enjoyed this great night at Parigi's.<








We have two sets of very special "twins" at Henderson. Ja'querius & Jaquan Swain and Morgan & Megan Garrett. They are all precious and enjoy school and other events.

Jy'Lyricc Miller, a sixth grade student, was celebrating her birthday. We surprised her with a birthday song and Parigi's was kind enough to give her a piece of cake. This will be a special memory for Jy'Lyricc.
We are all looking forward to our next supper club.
Thanks again, Parigi's Pizza, Beth Paris, and staff!

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
"Students are the reason for our professional existence."

Something to think about....

1. Identify techniques that can be used to encourage students to take learning risks to increase their performance.

2. Discuss approaches that work with parents when trying to gain their assistance in getting students to live up to their potential.

3. Share techniques that can be used to convince students of their gifts and talents.

4. Share examples in faculty, data, and GLAD meetings of strategies that can be used to customize teaching to meet students' learning needs.

5. How receptive and flexible are you when spontaneous learning opportunities occur in your classroom? What governs your response?
