Diamond Davis: BMS Teacher

I hope all is well! I am Marissa Vigevani’s younger sister Joanna and I just want to tell you a little bit about her and what you could expect from her in English this year. First off, she is not as smart as she looks. I know that for a fact because this is her first honors class she has ever taken in her life! Now before I get more into how clueless she is let's just talk about her on a more personal level. Marissa was born on January 8, 2001 at Newton Wellesley Hospital. She is funny, athletic, helpful and kind! One thing I would like say however, is that my sister is kind to everyone else except me. I know that for a fact because every time my parents go to teacher open houses they always tell my mom that “Marissa is an angel” and “so respectful

She is hard working and follows directions. I saw these behaviors in the way she interacted with her peers. She was kind to everyone around her yet reserved at times. Even though Emma struggled and was behind in school, she still worked very hard and did not give up because she was not at the level of her classmates. For example, when I worked with her on writing sentences from her word study, she kept using incorrect spelling and conventions. Even though I was correcting her, she did not get upset with herself and she kept trying until she got it right. Connor has an outgoing personality and made friends easily, but at times would get on his peer’s nerves. (why?) He seemed scattered brained and moved very fast at everything he did, and therefore he would make

She said she can be a bit sassy sometimes and at other times a bit awkward, but everyone at Palo Verde High School knows her to be the smartest thing in the classroom.

She is intelligent, hardworking, witty, charismatic, dedicated, loyal, and is an excellent speaker, reader, and writer. As a student, she read two or three grade levels above her grade level and was well read—reading most of the classics at a young age. I was quite impressed, but not surprised when she graduated at the top 10 percent of her high school class and graduated from The University of Texas in

Growing up, Hailey took pride in showing me the ropes of softball. By the same token, she took time out of her day to go outside with me and practice catching fly balls, hitting, and even base running. As teenagers, Hailey and I both played for the Varsity Utica Softball team, fortunately enough we were both awarded the Denise Majors Award. This award is only given to student-athletes who show positive attributes day in and day out.

Fabiola was a student in my sixth grade class during the 2013-14 school year at Roosevelt Elementary School. She has a great attitude and a positive spirit. Fabiola maintained good grades, worked very hard each day, and enjoyed contributing to classroom discussions. Fabiola would ask for help when needed and always seemed to have a pleasant outlook on things. She is not afraid to “speak up” or to share in front of a group of peers. I think these are positive traits that will help her in the future.

As her counselor at South Windsor High School, I have seen Jamie blossom into a well-rounded student who is an exemplary role model for all. From the time Jamie stepped into this building, it was clear that she was a highly motivated individual with many talents. Along with her strengths as a student, I would be remiss if I did not mention the wonderful individual that is Jamie Waldo. She is a friendly person who is always ready to listen to others and never passes judgment. She is not swayed by the majority and holds firm to her values and beliefs. She has a strong and supportive family who must be extremely proud of the person she is today.

First of all, Lexi is a driven student who gets favorable grades and avoids late work. Also, she will not tolerate final grades below As, or else she will be extremely upset about the matter. Another trait of hers is that she is known to be a friendly individual that will never be mean to you. One of her social goals, though unrealistic, is to be on pleasurable terms with everyone. Lastly, she is a loyal person who sticks to her

She is a born leader, and works excellently in groups and frequently pushes her groups to reach their goals. Furthermore, I have rarely seen a student more respectful to both teachers and her peers than Georgia. She is a very social person, and is both outgoing and funny. Georgia is also exceptionally creative. She is always pushing herself to look at challenges and assignments in a different way and it always pays off, especially when writing essays and in other written assignments, as she is an amazing writer. The characteristics that Georgia has demonstrated throughout her entire high school career have prepared her for the upcoming challenge of collegiate academics. I am certain she will approach these new opportunities with the same persistency and drive for excellence that she applies to all of her endeavors, especially as she challenges herself with the new learning experiences and community that are available in the college setting. To conclude, Georgia is an extraordinary student and person, and I recommend her to this school with my highest regards. Sincerely, Georgia Beckmann Head of College Counselling Prospect Hill Academy Charter School Collegiate

She is the student who makes a point to acknowledge everyone, and to check their well-being. In the halls she is always smiling and does her

Lauren is a superb athlete, participating on the high school’s soccer team, throughout her high school career.

Mackenzie is so sweet, caring, positive, and beyond helpful. She is beyond helpful to me and others. She is a little below grade level in math, it would benefit her to continue to work on math this summer. Mackenzie is right where she needs to be for reading. Mackenzie has a wonderful personality and has been a joy to have in class. I have loved having her in my classroom this year. I hope you have a fantastic summer!

She is funny and a fire ball, but also has some major issues that she is dealing with, all culminating to make her a very complex character. My group’s concept when unfolding The Cover of Life and trying to piece

“Karen Ortega likes to talk to her friends and learn. She likes to multitask because she is smart. Her favorite sport is basketball but she doesn’t like to run. She eats a lot even though she wants to get skinny for spring break. She is very good at basketball and good-looking too, just to clarify. She will fight a bird. She is always on her phone, she does her work sometimes but not all the time. Her favorite subject is algebra but she does not like the teacher even though she still learns. She came from lamar middle school and moved to Whitesboro over the summer amen!”- Karen Ortega

Well after a look over the tests scores we can see that Sara scored on level as other average 1st graders, who took the test. We would need to look at each test individual to see how she did specifically, but overall it looks like she is on par with her peers.
