Its Already February!!

Time passes so fast. I can't beleive it is already February and grades for mid-terms are on the 11th for teachers. This school year is passsing so fast. With that said, please understand that the school year is approaching the end and some studnets are struggling. Grades seem to go down the 3rd nine weeks due to students taking it easy. Please encourage your child to study every night either voc. words or their notes. Space Camp is right around the corner and there is a required field trip meeting on the 17th at 6:00. If you are unable to make that one, tow others will be offered on Wednesday the 18th at 1:30 and 3:15. Parents have to attend one of these meetings. I hope that everyone has a great week.

Start of the 3rd Nine Weeks

I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend. The extra day was nice to have to spend time with family. My kids were doing the snow dance last night, but it seemed it work for other people and not them. The start of the 3rd nine weeks is in full swing. Students will be getting their report cards tomorrow for the 2nd nine weeks. We are starting the section on Hebrews and will be discussing topics that most students have heard about probably. Space Camp money and forms are due by the 23rd. Have a great week.

New Year

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I can not believe that 2009 is here. It seemed like yesterday that the school year was just starting. The 2nd nine weeks and the 1st semester ends on the 13th of this month. You should be receiving reports on the 2oth. Students will be starting their 2nd semester classes on the 14th. I hope that everyone is rested and ready for the new year.

Christmas is almost here

This is my favorite time of the year. Besides being out two weeks to spend time with family and friends, it is a time to reflect on the blessings in my life. I hope that everyone has a wonderful and Christmas and they truly realize how our lives are a blessing compared to others around the world. May you and your family have a wonderful Christams and a Happy Year.

Break is Near

We have only 7 days until Thanksgiving break. I hope that everyone will have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. The students are looking forward to the King Tut trip on Friday. I hope to have some pictures posted on my website. Have a great week.

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.
