My students have been learning parts of speech as they learn to write sentences with correct sentence structure. Using the researched based program by LinguiSystems, called No-glamour sentence structure, the students began with basic subject verb agreement. They then added an adjective to the noun in the subject and this week they have added a direct object. As they begin to see the patterns in sentence structure, this will also help their brains to organize their thoughts and enable them to get their thoughts down on paper or on the computer/Ipad in an orderly manner. All of my students are so intelligent and have so much to share. I really believe this is a great program and it should help all students improve in reading skills at the same time.
The EC department will be finishing up our spring count of students to turn in to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction by the end of the month. All records are submitted to the state through the CECAS system. The state then gathers the count information for Neuse Charter School of Exceptional Students.
We are so pleased to have our new High School EC teacher, Lili Marioara. She is doing an excellent job!
We also have a new Occupational Therapist, Ms. Deborah Martin. Welcome Ms. Marioara and Ms. Martin! This year we have Mrs. Karen Hicks teaching three of our students with Ms. Amy Johnson and Ms. Nadia Johnson. We also have Mr. Jeremy Repka who helps teach PE and one of our EC students. Ms. Beaumont is our main LEA for our meetings and our department and handles most of the incoming and outgoing records. I appreciate our great team of people which also includes Ms. Lisa Brogdon, our speech pathologist and Dr. Sharon Leuenberger our school psychologist. They all work very hard to meet the needs of our students.
This spring is bringing many changes, as you know, to our state in education especially concerning End of Grade testing. We, at NCS, will make every effort to help prepare your students to do their very best the rest of the year in class, as well as on those End of Grade tests. We encourage each student to work hard and do their best at school every day.
I hope you all have a progressive next 2 weeks before vacation and a very Happy Easter and restful, and fun vacation.
Mrs. Peele
