We have some exciting additions to our daily schedule this week. In addition to yoga on Thursday afternoons, the children will now participate in jewelry making on Monday afternoons. This will be a 4 week extracurricular activity that will foster creativity and fine motor skills. We will also be implementing music on Wednesdays and Fridays! We are so excited about these new additions, so please ask your children how they are enjoying their new experiences. There will be more additions in the following weeks.
On Wednesday at 2:30 we will be putting on a school wide Black History Month Program. Parents are invited to join us in our celebration which will take place in the Multi-Purpose Room. Students will be reciting poems, singing songs and reading script associated with black history.
I will be attending the South Carolina Charter School Conference on Friday. I hope to bring back some valuable information, not only to the classroom, but to the Academy of Hope as a whole.
Congratulations to Jonathan Galloway! He is our Student of Week!

Week 23
Happy Valentine's Day! I'm a day early, but who's really counting? :) Thank you for everyone who was willing to bring in a snack for our party tomorrow afternoon. It seems we will have more than enough to eat!
I am so proud of how well the class performed on the DIBELS assessment so far. I still have a few more students to assess, but hope to get the results back to you early next week. We are seeing major gains in our class and I couldn't be happier about that!
Don't forget that next Monday, President's Day, is a half day for us. Please make sure you are here at 12:30 to pick up your child.
Blaise Burns is our Student of the Week this week. He made huge efforts last week to get on blue and purple and it paid off in the end! Congratulations, Blaise!!

Week 22
Tomorrow we will finish up DIBELS testing. This last portion focuses on reading and comprehension. We will be able to determine new reading levels with this data. Please make sure your child gets a lot of rest tonight and comes to school prepared tomorrow.
As our newsletter stated, there will be a board meeting today at 5 pm. It will take place in the multi-purpose room where the kids eat breakfast and lunch. All are welcome, so please come if you are able.
Toddae Waters is our Student of the Week! She is nicknamed the "Giggle Monster" by her classmates because she giggles about everything. She loves to write and is an amazing artist. Congratulations, Toddae!
