I was interviewed this week for the 

Chico Junior High School Cougars Podcast

Ms. Davis in her classroom habitat.

Students at Chico Junior are creating podcasts with the 

supreme editing skills of our own Valya Watson.

What an awesome way for 

individual students to learn about

podcasting and for everyone

to learn about individuals on our campus.

Thank you for the opportunity of

being the second person interviewed. 

What a privilege!

Grit

Grit is courage and resolve; strength of character

synonyms: courage, bravery, backbone, spirit, fortitude, passion and perseverance, endurance, determination

Angela Duckwirth talks to us about the success of individuals who have grit.

Thank you to my friend, Principal Andee Farrar, for sharing this video with me. It applies in school, at work, and even at home. Don't give up! Keep trying. You can do it!

Back To School Night 2017

I love Back To School Night!

It's fun to meet the families 

of students with whom I am just getting acquainted.

I know that it can be a hardship 

for some parents and guardians to get to school 

on a Thursday night.

Below are links to the slideshows

I will present to family members in my classroom.

I am excited about this school year.

Thank you for all you do to make education great!

Yearbook Plans

I am at a workshop today for the yearbook advisers all over the north state. 

There is so much energy here among these adults who want to help kids record their school memories in a special way.

At Chico Junior High School, we have a yearbook staff of 25 students who have all applied to be responsible for capturing the school year in photos and words.

Our special yearbook word this year is "Selfie"

If you are a Chico Junior student, 

send your selfies to Mrs. Davis' email address

along with your name and grade.

This yearbook is going to be the best ever!

Pre-order now at the 

sale price of $40.
