Work Shower

Casey, Jodi, Sara, and Lavonette threw us a wonderful baby shower at school a couple of weeks ago. I love these girls...they really know how to make someone feel special. Our school is such a special work place and everyone has been so supportive during my entire pregnancy. We were given such great things, and some of the cutest clothing. I'm so thankful to work with such caring, creative, loving group of teachers. Nora Davis rocks! Here are just a few pictures from the shower.

Sweetness

I know what sweetness is....I see it in this picture.

I made this frame for Lawson's room. I think it's cute. I also updated my Plum Cute blog...check it out. There are two new hospital hangers on there. You can find the site on my blog list on the left hand side.

Brag

Well, it's results time....all the information was taught, test were given, and they were sent to Neverland to rank our students' learning... state testing always makes teachers a little nerves...students too.

This is a picture of my sisters. Watts and Warren. The three of us make up the roster for the third grade teachers at Nora Davis Magnet School. We pour our hearts into making learning fun, relevant, and rigorous.

I've gotta brag a little... you may not can see it in our picture, but we are wearing a double crown. And how often do people get DOUBLE crowns!!!! We got double crowns for math and language arts. It's really hard to read in the picture below, so I'll explain. Our local newspaper prints the MCT2 test results each year and ranks the best and the worst schools/grade levels in the county. And if you look at the picture below...under BEST...you'll see Language Arts...and the BEST 3rd grade is ............NORA DAVIS MAGNET SCHOOL with 70.9 % of the students scoring advanced and proficient! YAY, US!!!

AND if you look a little farther down, under THE BEST....Mathematics...you'll see that the BEST 3rd grade is............... NORA DAVIS MAGNET SCHOOL with 77.4% of our students scoring advanced and proficient! DOUBLE YAY for US!!!

SO, let me sum it up for you. Our babies, that are now in 4th grade, my sister teachers, and I are the BEST in the county at Language Arts and Math!!!!!!!!! DOUBLE CROWN!
