Week of Jan. 23

And so we begin the 3rd quarter! This is a wonderful time in Language Arts at Neuse Charter. We will finish up “Out of the Dust” week after next, complete our poetry books and send them to the printer, take a school-wide mock EOG test, learn all about black history, throw a super-fabulous dance for our growing 5th graders and a few other surprises! Whew! How do we do it?! :)
Reminder to all: Next Friday, student-led conferences are scheduled. Students will share their poetry and composition books and will explain the plot and story of “Out of the Dust” to parents. I understand many of you want to conference about your student’s progress, but this is not the time for that. It is the time for your student to share their work. I will happily schedule any parent who needs an appointment over the next few weeks.
Student-led conference schedule: 5B 3:00-3:20, 5C: 3:25-3:45, 5A: 3:50-4:10 if your schedule makes it difficult for you to attend your student’s appointed time, please let me know, we can work it out!
Some of you received letters of possible retention, and/or a request to conference. I would like to schedule those appointments as soon as possible. I can meet after-school on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays (this Wed. is scheduled), or 12:45 any day. These are times that Mrs. Dohner and I can both meet. Please e-mail me to set something up.
We have received permission to hold the 2nd Annual Neuse Charter Has Talent Show! It will be April 20th! Audition dates to come! This was a wonderful event last year, if you missed it, you missed out! Save the date and start practicing!
