First let me start by saying Mrs. Duncan is by far my favorite teacher that my daughter Mariah has had. In the beginning of the year, my daughter had so much trouble learning 3rd grade math, reading comp. and spelling. (She was getting 30's and 40's in math and reading) It was a struggle day to day not only at school, but at home too. Mariah was having trouble adjusting to a new baby and to another brother who was having surgery...through it all Mrs. Duncan has been so supportive school wise (but also as a friend to me, and that is very important to a parent at least to me) sitting with her everyday making sure she understands the reading and math material for TAKS, keeping in contact with me to see what we can do as a team to better Mariah's performance. I am happy to say that Mariah is now making 80's and 90's in reading, math, and spelling. Mariah is about to take her TAKS test next week. Mariah says she feels confident that she will pass thanks to Mrs. Duncan's help. She (Mrs. Duncan) is amazing, and she deserves to be teacher of the Month. 

Jaylon has struggled each year in school. He is a little overwhelmed and intimidated with school. When he got to Cooper in 2nd grade, Mrs. Sumrall just took him under her wing and have him the confidence he needed. She took time out and personally bought/ordered special paper for him to help him with his writing and she had so many strategies to get him to learn and his grades rose tremendously from the previous year. I am so thankful to have had Mrs. Sumrall in my son's life. She is truly a special teacher and one my son and I will remember always.
