Hi, Felisa! Carina Fay arrived three weeks early on Oct. 12, weighing 6 lbs. 5 oz. It was quite an adventure - 12 hours of labor followed by an emergency C-section because her heart rate was dropping. She was born completely healthy and she has since gained a lot of weight (she LOVES to eat). She is an absolute joy - more than we could have ever imagined. I'll try to attach a photo to this message - let me know if that works. How are you? This is crunch time for NCTE/CEL, so you must be super busy. I really hate to miss the conference this year, especially with it so close in Philly. If I were attending, I would be sure to wear Yankees gear every day:) Hope all is well with you!

Hey, Felisa! I am never on this Ning so I'm not sure if I ever responded to you! I am expecting a little girl on Oct. 31. It's rapidly approaching & I'm getting excited. How are you? I'm sure you're busy planning Philadelphia - bummed I'm going to miss it!
Hope all is well.

MIT university is trying to build a free resource to help kids learn SAT/ACT thru the power of user-generated images and video. We are currently running a nationwide contest, challenging kids to make fun and memorable flashcards by pairing sentences and images to a common test word. There will be a small cash prize and iTunes giveaways. Due date is May 22.

My biggest challenge is that students fluent in neighboring districts are suddenly not legally fluent in our district, as it is determined by our state through formalized test scores that students need more English in our community than in neighbo...
