Handle your business, pursue your dream…the words of our guest speaker and my former principal Rev. Larry McDonald.

On Wednesday, January 30, 2008 the DNS Men had the opportunity to receive inspiring words during Chapel.  Mr. McDonald challenged our young men to embrace their dream and never let it go.  He expressed without hesitation be passionate about it and you can achieve it. 

What is the purpose of education?  DNS Men this question is for you…what is your purpose?  I dare you to Dream Big…I dare you to Pursue your Dream…I dare you to Handle your Business!

Finally it works…as you can see my blog is active.  I am looking forward to sharing information with my DNS Men and their families.  So, get ready it is going to be an exciting remainder of the year.

On Thursday, January 24, I had the opportunity to travel to St. Louis, Missouri to attend the Nativity Conference.  It was awesome as we shared and learned best practices for our students.  I can’t wait to implement many of them.

Folktales:  Our new unit for Literature…this will be the topic of discussion for the remainder of the trimester.  Our DNS Men will learn about the different types of folktales and their origination.  Each grade level will have a different project to complete…more details coming soon.

Grammar & Mechanics Challenge:  I will post various grammar & mechanic sentences each week.  Students will have until Friday of that week to respond to the post…let the games begin!
