YOU ALL ARE SHINING STARS!

Of my 102 students who took the FCAT Writes, 100 of you passed! That is 98%!!! YOU ALL ARE AMAZING!

I want to give a special shout out to my Regular English Class...100% of you passed! That goes to show that honors or not, success is possible! With hard work, success is the end result! In the history of me teaching tenth grade, this is the FIRST regular class that had a 100% success rate! I AM BEAMING WITH PRIDE!

The state average of passing students was 77%; you all were 98%. The state average of students earning a score of 4 or higher was 60%; you all were 87%. The state's mean score was 3.8; your
mean score was 4.4!!! That's AMAZING! My hat's off to you!

Here are my TOP DOGS:
Level 6 - Heather, Adrian, Michael L., Jessica Mart. (The only four in our school to earn a 6)
Level 5.5 - Yovanni T., Blanca R., Maite, Angel V., Marvin M.,
Level 5 - Fanny, Kassandra, David, Javier, Ivana, Michelle G., Karina, Carel, Jennifer M., Gina, Pablo, Jessica Men., Nelson M., Richard P., Nahobi, Katherine

There were 30 4.5's; and 34 4.0's, which is INCREDIBLE!

Be ready for your rewards and recognition - YOU ALL DESERVE IT!

Hello Mrs. C-Rod =) I just wanted to give you my gratitude towards helping all of us in the FCAT. Many students greatly improved their scores, something that you must feel very proud about. Plus, it's a good reason to brag =D Thank you very everything you have done for us this whole year. I think I speak on everyone's behalf when I say that we have learned a lot in your class and it has truly been an unforgettable experience. I am looking forward to your future lessons. Take care and have a great weekend!

Love you!

Hi Mrs. Rodriguez, I'm so glad to have so a wonderful teacher as you are. I was extremely scared not to past the test, since I was only able to do 3 paragraphs, I thought that the highest score I could get was a 3.5 if I was lucky. Thanks to you, my 3 paragraphs were enough for me to receive a 4.5, and of course, I was shutting for a 6, but I still feel proud for not failing. Mrs. Rodriguez I am not laying when I say that there are not words to express how grateful I feel. Love you, you are the BEST teacher in the entire world, :D

Meryl. Period 3! said...

Wowwwww. I'm so surprised considering this is our first year and everything you said in class.

This shuts up everyone who makes fun of our school...especially the HatorGators. haha

I'm very proud of everyone and yes, C-Rod, you too. All those crazy days and your stress has completely paid off.

I'm still in shock. I can't wait until we "partyyyy."

Hello, all! Thanks for all of your wonderful comments! First, we WILL party and celebrate our success! I cannot wait; I am actually working on a date right now. In addition, I KNEW you all would do well because WE ALL WORKED HARD (and some of you even came on Saturdays). I also told you that you did not have to write 5 paragraphs, but you did have to support your argument with ALIVE WORDS, and those that make you SEE, HEAR, SMELL, FEEL, TASTE, you would be fine. Some of you used those persuasive techniques I taught you with ETHOS, PATHOS, KAIROS, etc. Great job. Some of you did not completely address the prompt, but since it was so vague, I guess they just needed to see you could state your opinion and support with some amazing details. I AM SO PROUD! Fabulous job! And, remember, I love you all, too!

SMILE!!!!!

Hey Miss!

Well I did a pinwheel for my fifth period and I thought it was the best idea the school's had so far. The peace sign came out kinda retarded though it looked like a football not a circle. But it was cool. I drew a tree, and a rainbow, and hearts, and butterflies on my pinwheel. It came out cute. I have a docotr's appointment so I'm not gonna be in your class today.

Congrats Mrs.R and a million thanks, if it werent for you i doubt i would have passed the fcat and though i wish i would have gotten a higher score i think i managed to do decent enough. By the way both the peace and shakespeare activities that we did were superb.

See ya at school,
