I hope everyone had a relaxing and satisfying Thanksgiving! Mine was great and so now I feel ready to work off the stuffing and pumpkin pie with some solid learning. Let's finish this year off right with some brain building reading and writing!
We will continue to read Out of the Dust aloud in each class.(5B will begin reading this week) If you can get a copy of the book, please do. We are currently sharing in class. If your student has a copy, it will make studying for tests and reviewing much easier for them. 5A and 6A will have a quiz Tuesday on the book to page 51.
5B will finish their work on the Paul Revere essay by Tuesday, as it its due to the DAR on Wednesday. I would love for them to be typed and would allow students to type and edit their essay at home in lieu of reading homework. Parents must review the essay.
Neuse Charter will participate in the Spelling Bee again this year. I will firm up the format this week.
