Another bitter cold day in which I had to present data at a meeting on the reading growth of my school's second grade students (I teach reading only with second grade this year). Our second graders made the highest percentage of growth in reading (95%) of all schools, all grades in my district (it's a large district with 13 elementary schools)! I'm very lucky to work with a fantastic team of teachers.
For the meeting, I wore my snuggly-tweedy-warm-as-a-blanket skirt, along with a gray turtleneck, black fleece lined tights and black booties. This is the second presentation of this data that I've done, and the first time I wore more of a suit-type outfit. What never ceases to amaze me is how sloppily people dress these days. Several people at the meeting (including teachers and the principal) wore jeans and frumpled sweatshirts - and it's not even dress down day!
Funny story: During reading groups this afternoon, a student blurted out, "I think you're 45! (I'm 53). In my best shocked voice, I said, "45!!" He replied, "OK, 35!" I said, "Well, that's better." Another student piped up and said, "Honestly, Mrs. ____, you do look a bit old. Err....a bit older." HA! Out of the mouths of babes.
Pic 3 includes Cosmo Edward, who was growing impatient with outfit photos and as he apparently needed to go out to the potty. The nerve!
