Apparently I'm on a blog kick (don't expect it to last too long) and I just had to post about my kiddos. Last week, the administration team asked the 4th grade teachers to give a presentation on the work we have been doing this year. The 4th grade class as a whole has a wide range of needs and ability levels, so we have had to approach this year with a bit of an "outside the box" being more specific and focus about what we are teaching, and doing short assessments and helping each other re-teach when kids don't get things. So on Monday we went to the monthly school board meeting and presented some of the things we have been doing. Our data shows a lot of growth in the kids, and we got a lot of kudos.
Well this week my kids finished taking the Scantron (a standardized test that they take at the beginning, middle, and end of the year). EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY KIDS GREW!!! Some of them even made INCREDIBLE gains (seriously, I almost cried!!) This is completely a team effort as there are other teachers (past and current) that have helped these kids... but it feels amazing to be part of that team. Most of all, I am just so proud of them :)

Makes me so proud :o) It shows great talent and commitment. Love you lots.
And I think a teacher who is so invested in their students takes the extra time and effort to make this growth happen. You are the constant gardener who makes sure these plants are nourished every single day! Congradulations!! You should win a prize! I WUB YOU!
Thanks Mommy and Daddeeee :) I love you!
Those kids are lucky to have such a wonderful and talented teacher! Congratulations...your hard work has REALLY made a difference.
