Have a great week!

Happy New Year!

Hello and Happy New Year to everyone! I trust you all had a restful and happy Christmas break. I spent my time doing a whole lot of relaxing, reconnecting with friends and my college-age son and eating great food. My family and I went to a Charlotte Bobcats game. We spent a few very cold nights in the mountains, too. I look forward to hearing about all my students' adventures over the break!

The first week back at school will be fun. We will be holding a persuasive writing workshop in our classroom! Students will learn the importance of being able to influence readers and some of the strategies that writers employ to acheive their goals.

All grades will have spelling words this week. On that note, congratulations to Oriauna Henry, Neuse Charter Schools' spelling bee champ. She will be competing in the Johnston County Spelling Bee. Well done, Oriauna!

The week of January 11th, students will be taking pre-EOG practice tests.

Please remember: homework, for all classes, is ALWAYS to read for 30 minutes, write page numbers and a short summary. Many students are not getting their homework turned in. Late homework is not accepted.

Welcome back to school in 2010! I have a feeling, it's going to be a great year; full of learning, growing and good times!
