Congratulations to all of you!

Happiest moment so far...

 

Parents and students,

Words cannot express how proud I am to call you your ELA teacher.  We have come from 9th place in our 1st IA to 3rd place out of 14 schools this IA in Reading!

I express my gratitude for working harder than I could have hoped.  I know that I push you to get you to THIS moment.  My homework and my hard work is for you to achieve what you have achieved.  Students I provided you the map but you found your destination: the top.  

I know that you are the best, and you are MY best. I am overwhelmed and excited to see where the STAAR and IA4 takes us and I have more than enough confidence to say we can make it to FIRST in the district!

Now, like I've told you in class, just because we are at this amazing point in our year does not mean we are taking a break or slowing down.  We need to go harder and push ourselves further than we ever though possible.  This isn't time to press the brakes; it is time to pump the gas!

Parents, thank you for being patient with my assignments.  You are the co-conductor of this amazing district-topping machine so BRAVO to you!  You should be extremely proud of your child's accomplishments.  I ask that you keep supporting me in my efforts to get these kids on top.  I know that with both sets of hands, these kids will have more than enough support needed to ROCK THE STAAR!

To my favorite CHAMPION CHARGERS, many hugs.

Miss G

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY

Good things kiddos!

Charger stamps to the first five students tomorrow to tell me HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!

Tomorrow you will find out WHY I am SOOO HAPPY!
