End of the Nine Weeks

The end of the 1st nine weeks is today. School has moved very quickly the first 45 days of school. The year is off to a great start and should really start to move faster than the 1st the next couple of weeks. Please remember that the 2nd nine weeks is the nine weeks that students seem to struggle the most. Please stay consistent and helpful in the stretch. We are out of school the 27th and 28th for teacher in-service. We are starting the Egyptian unit and students seem to enjoy this unit very much.

Cool Weekend

The family and I packed the camper up this weekend and headed to the great outdoors. The girls love camping. We took part in the Outdoor Festival up at Duke Power. My girls loved holding the animals, especially the snakes. After a busy day, the girls wanted to roast hot dogs and smores on the fire. This is a family ritual for us when we going camping. The evening was cool and the smell of the fire takes away any worries you have. Talking about worries, one of the worries that I don't have anymore is TARHEEL FOOTBALL. The boys are back in town. Have a great week.
