Edith Patel, M.Ed.

Thank you Joel Weckerly for coming to chill with us and reading The Brave Little Penguin. A story about overcoming fear with support, courage and a leap of faith, one can overcome fear to discover joy and adventure. Our cool readers really loved it!

Our 100th day parade @CFISDAndre was full of smiles as our little learners showed off their 100th day posters. We celebrated 100 days of laughter, fun, and learning @CfisdAndre2025 #100daysofschool @CFISDELCS #chooseCFISD #CFISDSpirit

@CfisdAndre2025 has been full of smiles! ❤️ Valentine’s fun and 🤠 Rodeo celebrations have made these past weeks extra special for our littlest learners. #valentines #rodeo #CFISDELCS #littlelearners

📚 Read Across America Week has been so much fun @CfisdAndre2025! Our little learners loved having special guest readers visit our classrooms all week to share their favorite stories and inspire a love of reading! #ReadAcrossAmerica @CFISDELCS #ChooseCFISD #CFISDSpirit

So many wonderful book characters today @CfisdAndre2025 . The children had a great time dressing up, and even our special guest reader joined in on the fun to celebrate the magic of books with us. #ReadAcrossAmerica @CFISDELCS #chooseCFISD #CFiSDSpirit #CommunityPrograms

Thank you Sam Mims, our special guest reader for filling our buckets! The Little Raindrop by Igloo Books is a nature series that follows a raindrop's journey through the water cycle, from sky to earth and back again. A reminder that the smallest things can make a big impact.

A heartfelt thank you to our special guest reader Irene Ruiz. Too Much Glue by Jason Lefebvre is a story about creativity, following your own path and finding beauty in mistakes. Thank you for being our super glue!

The joy of reading was on display this week at ELC 1. It was wonderful to see our school community come together to celebrate reading, spark imagination, and strengthen a lifelong love of literacy! #Cfisd #PathToAmazing #ReadAcrossAmerica

Celebrating Read Across America Week at ELC 1! 📚I had the joy of reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom with our amazing students—watching their excitement for books reminds us how powerful early literacy can be. #ReadAcrossAmerica #ChooseCFISD

It was great visiting with you!

This week is Read Across America. A huge thank you to our special guest reader Mrs. Julie Hinaman who read Six Perfectly Different Pigs by Adrienne Geoghegan. A delightful story about being yourself, embracing your uniqueness, friendships and that we are all perfectly different.

Thank you to our #CFISDBoard of Trustees for leading CFISD students toward a brighter future! During #SchoolBoardMonth, we invite you to share your appreciation for our seven trustees. buff.ly/4j1KBfl #CFISDspirit
