Questions or Comments


The art classes at Carlisle are designed for children to experience a variety of media and techniques that are appropriate for their grade level. Emphasis is placed on building self esteem and confidence, so they can express their ideas in new ways.
The arts program promotes higher level thinking skills and problem solving in everyday decision making. The arts are also a unique source of enjoyment, providing the joy of discovery when we see things in a new way. The arts are everywhere in our lives, adding depth and dimension to the environment we live in and shaping our experiences daily. We value the arts for themselves, and because we do, we believe knowing and practicing them is fundamental to the healthy development of our children's minds and spirits.



PISD ART PROGRAM GOALS
The art program is designed to help the student to:
1. Realize that each individual's ideas are of value because they are the tangible results of personal experience.
2. Produce and recognize the value of his/her own imaginative and inventive works of are while becoming aware of his artistic talent and its needs for further development
3. Progress students through a sequentially developed curriculum, moving from level to level in such a way that maximum growth is attained by building on prior learning.
4. Develop independent thinking by planning and executing his/her own ideas for truly creative expression instead of copy work.
5. Realize that creative art processes are a means of communication that extend beyond the limitations of the printed or spoken word.
6. Understand the characteristic, limitations, and possibilities of a great variety of materials, tools, equipment, and processes used in visual expression.
7. Develop an art vocabulary based on the elements and principles of design sufficient to communicate ideas about art.
8. Realize the many sources of creative ideas come from natural and man-made environments.
9. Realize that are is a means for emotional release and a worthwhile leisure time activity.
10. Use the elements and principles of design in evaluating and appreciating the aesthetic efforts of past and present artists and their cultural and historical influences on current times.
11. Become aware of opportunities in art careers through careful teacher nurturing.
12. Become aware of his/her responsibilities as a citizen to support cultural and environmental projects in a continuing effort to improve the quality of life.
13. Incorporate art perception, production, history, and criticism in a concept-based approach.
14. Incorporate concept-based art into other content areas.

About Our School
Carlisle Elementary School was opened in the fall of 1984. It was named a Blue Ribbon School during the 1987-1998 school year. Carlisle is the youngest school ever to receive this national honor. In 1994, Carlisle was recognized by the US Department of Education for excellence in drug prevention. In 1996 the school began it's very successful Mentoring Program.

The school is named for Henry Bascom Carlisle. He was born in August, 1855 in Tennessee. Mr. Carlisle married Dona Norton, and in 1888 they moved to Denison and a year later to Plano. They had four children: Manley, Idalee, Julia, and Willie Glynne.
Mr. Carlisle started a grocery business located on the east end of Mechanic Street. In this store, there was always a cracker barrel open, a hoop of cheese with a cutter, and a pickle barrel. He bought produce, such as watermelons, by the railroad carload, and sold them right off the car. Squawking chickens were sold live and weighed on big scales. They also sold grain, hay, and cotton seed.

“Chiney” Williams delivered groceries in the small wooden wagon pulled by two mules stabled behind the Carlisle house, and children came by the store after school for a pickle or cookie. This was a favorite place for everyone when they came to town. By the mid 1890’s, his brother JM Carlisle joined him in business, and the store changed the name to Plano Grocery Company.

In the 1920’s, Willie joined his father’s business also. After forty-five years of selling on credit, the unpaid bills owed him and the Depression forced him out of business. Mr. Carlisle died in 1934 at the age of 78.




Spanish

The Spanish Program at Carlisle is designed to introduce a foreign language to children in a fun and exciting manner. Through the use of videos, activities and games, children learn basic vocabulary, respond to simple questions and commands, and develop an awareness of another culture.

Bienvenidos a Espanol!
(Welcome to Spanish!!)

Kindergarteners are busy as bees singing songs about colors, numbers, and Spanish greetings. They play games including Pass the Ball and Count and Treasure Hunt. In the weeks to come, they'll be learning vocabulary for days of the week, the months, animals, some foods, and family members.
First & Second Graders are in their 2nd year of Spanish and learning to count to twenty, weather expressions, classroom items and parts of the face. They've been singing songs from last year and practicing a couple of new ones like "Ojos, orejos, boca, nariz." Our vocabulary this year will include school personnel and rooms, transportation, farm animals, and places in the city.

Third and Fourth Graders are reviewing greetings, commands, and numbers, as well as how to talk about feelings and the weather. They'll learn words for parts of the house, as well as furniture and appliances, clothing, food, and sports. By the end of the year, the children will be able to read and write a limited amount in Spanish.

Fifth Graders have reviewed words and phrases from their past study of Spanish. This year they will learn the names of school subjects, professions, buildings, furniture, musical instruments, and even adjectives. They will be learning whole sentences and writing words and short sentences in Spanish.

Your child will bring home his/her Take Home folder each day. In it you will find homework assignments, papers, notes, and newsletters from the grade level, school, and PTA. Please look through the Take Home Folder and discuss its contents with your child each night. Ask your child to read anything he has written to you! Be sure to have your child return it the next school day. We have found this to be a great tool for communication as well as helping your child to develop the responsibility of organizing his/her supplies. Three cheers for Take Home Folders!

I grew up in Dallas going to Richardson schools. However, I did move to Southern California from 7th - 10th grades and came back to Dallas to finish high school. I started college at the University of Colorado studying Communication. My junior year I decided that I wanted to become a teacher, so I tranferred and graduated with a B.S. in teaching third grade....my last two years being in Richardson. I love spending time with my family and friends, reading, being outdoors and watching Colorado Buffalo football!!


Mrs. Bagby
smcgilb@pisd.edu

I love teaching 3rd Grade! I grew up here in Dallas, and went to J.J. Pearce High School. I got my degree in Elementary Education from Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos. My husband's name is Joel, and we have a golden retriever named Belle. When I'm not at school, I love to take Belle for walks, watch "Friends" and the "OC", and spend time with my little sister, Laura.


Ms. Dunagin
rdunagi@pisd.edu

Third grade is by far the best grade ever and I am so glad to be with another delightful group of third graders! Last year I taught in Waco, Texas after graduating from Baylor University with a degree in Elementary Education, specializing in Reading. Sic ‘Em Bears!! I just had to get back to the Metroplex! I grew up in Lake Highlands, Northeast Dallas, where I graduated from Lake Highlands High School, home of the Wildcats. In my spare time, I love shopping, reading, church activities, watching all kinds of sports – especially football and basketball, and spending time with my loving parents, two older sisters, and my boyfriend, Shane. I am thrilled to be here at Carlisle and extremely excited to work with such a bright bunch of little darlings!


Mrs. Turner
eturner@pisd.edu

I am enjoying another great year at Carlisle. Third grade is the best! Back in 1997, I graduated from Plano Senior High School and went on to Texas A&M University to get my B.S. in Elementary Education. My husband's name is Brandon and we have a yellow Labrador named Hank. On the weekends I enjoy shopping, going to the movies with my husband, and relaxing at home.

Welcome to Fifth Grade! This is such an exciting year in your child’s life, and we are pleased and privileged to be sharing this special time with you. Fifth Grade is a year of growth, emotional and intellectual, as well as physical. As your child completes this last year at Carlisle and prepares for the challenges of middle school, the increased maturity is remarkable.

To facilitate this year of maturity, in Fifth Grade our focus is on academic achievement, personal responsibility, making good decisions and problem solving, completing and turning in assignments on time, and taking pride in a task completed and for which best effort has been given. We also focus on kindness and consideration towards others. There are many opportunities in Fifth Grade for cooperative and collaborative learning projects. Working in a group towards a common goal gives your child an idea of what it is like to function in the real world and calls for understanding of others as well as themselves.

Our expectations for your child are high both academically and behaviorally. It is our belief that our students will rise to the challenges that are set before them and take pride in their accomplishments and their growth. It is our goal to achieve this and have some fun along the way. While we do work hard in Fifth Grade, there are many memorable and enjoyable experiences.

With increased responsibility comes increased privilege. All Fifth Graders have the opportunity to shine as our school leaders. They serve as role models for our younger students, and as STOP helpers in service to our school. Fifth Graders also develop an awareness of the community outside our school as we support worthy causes, travel to Camp Classen, and look for other service opportunities both in and out of school which promote the lifelong trait of responsible citizenship.

Fifth Graders love being Fifth Graders! We love having them with us for this important year. To achieve our goals and make this a wonderful school year for your child, we wish to work in partnership with you. Working together will allow us to enhance your child’s success. Please do not hesitate to communicate with us. We value and appreciate you input. Once again, welcome to Fifth Grade. We are so happy to be working with your child and you this year.

Sincerely,
The Fifth Grade Team
