| Dear Reader, |
We had an amazing response last month to our call for volunteers. We now have three new reading buddies for students who are developing readers.
The 5th grade students are truly working on becoming S.M.A.R.T (Scholarly, Motivated, Accountable, Respectful, and Think). The majority of 5th graders are on their way to making 1.5 years worth of growth in reading. Many of them will make 2+ years worth of growth by the end of the year.
The 6th grade students have collectively read 2200 books this academic year...making them strong and critical readers.
Once again, we urge you to consider volunteering with KIPP Charlotte and make a real difference in a student's life. EOG's are only 26 work days away!
Regards
KIPP Charlotte

KIPP in the Wilderness
|
The 6th grade team and Mr. Burnam took 45 students who earned a $40 paycheck average consistently for 3 weeks, white water rafting and hiking for the weekend. Students went rafting in the French Broad River and hiking at the North Carolina Arboretum.
Students had an amazing time and it was a great opportunity for teachers to show the students that they appreciate the hard work and effort they put forth on a daily basis.
On more than one occasion, the students received warm compliments from people passing by. They were called "extraordinary, blessed, special, attentive" and the list goes on.
"It was kind of scary and confusing but it was so much fun. I fell off in the whirlpool", Akease.
"It was exciting because we experienced all the different levels of water". Tara.
Many thanks go to Mr. Collington for attending the trip and being a fantastic parent chaperon.

Many thanks go to Mr. Terry Harrell Sr. for washing cars for the staff at KIPP Charlotte.
We would also like to send a big thank you to Mrs. Johnson for cooking delicious food for us.
The staff work so hard that they often forgo basic every day tasks in their personal lives. We are overwhelmed with gratitude.
