MLK supports New Orleans Saints

The spirit of the black and gold is in MLK school. Teachers and students support the New Orleans Saints. To show their support after a win, the school has a black and gold dress-down day. All the students and teachers dress down in their best lack and gold clothing. They also have students who draw pictures of the Saint's symbol,like myself. But one things for sure after the win on September 20, 2010, with a score of 25 to 22 there will have a lot of black and gold spirit going around Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Charter School.

The Best Chater School in the City has Direct Instruction

''MLK's Direct Instruction''

MLK Charter School is having Direct Instruction(DI),which is a program when you read on a certain grade level and you work as a group to be a better reader.Mr. Mack is the head of DI.Most students move up in DI because he or she has improved in DI.It is on the 1st and 2nd floor,and in the library.It happens on everyday of the week except on Fridays.

If a teacher has a problem without having DI on Fridays ,they must inform the principal immediately,and now we are going to have a quote from Jada Taylor who is a 5th grader who reads on a 6th grade level in Mrs. Ramsey's homeroom, Jada why do you think DI is important? " DI is important because it gives you instructions to help you work to your certain expectations and to become a better reader." DI is very important to the King Family.

Sixth Grade Times

My school is having a contest. It is called ''The Starline Banner''. All grades are participating in it. It will start Monday September 27, 2010. Here's a quote by a sixth grade student, 'I really hope my class wins the contest'',says Daryl Evans.

get in new books for the class

Ms.Smith class room needed new books for the student in her class. The reson being is that some student books are missing. some of the student who did not have a book would go in to other people cubies. To get their books case they did not have their. so when the student that had the books go to get theirs they would not be in there. So they would tell Ms.Smith and she would say if you have there book you need to give it back to them. So after it was happen. Ms.Smith and Ms.Johson order new books for the people who did not have a book. So when the books came in for every body who was behind number fifteen had to go up a number and had to check to see if we had all of our books. So if you had to move up. You had to give your old books to the people who gets your old number. If you want to get a new book. All you had to do was ask her and she would give it to you.

Dance Tryouts, So Amazing!!!

We have dance tryouts today. We got out of school at 2:30, dance tryouts was for 3:00, which means we only had 30 minutis to get prepared. We went upstairs and went into the restroom to change clothes.Next, we went into our dance teacher's classroom.We all went in and had to pull a number. Whenshe called our number that meant it was time for us to go into the classroom and do our thing.After she called everyone's number she told us that we can go home. But, she also said that tomorrow our numbers that she pulled will be on her door with our last name to tell weather we made the dance team or not. That is my news article about dance tryouts today!!!

Reading Program Helps Sixth Grade Students

At Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Charter For Science and Technology, the sixth grade students have a reading program called SSR ( Silent Sustained Reading) that gives them better reading skills. They use this program every week. You have to read for 20 minutes. Then, you have to respond on what you read. After that, your parents have to sign it. Some students like this program but others don't. Sixth grade student, Emmanuel Mitchell said " I like SSR because I like to read." Another sixth grade student, Lawrence Breaux had this to say " I don't like SSR because it is boring." Sixth grade teacher Mrs. Doris Smith said this " absolutely think so. It's research. Researchers have researched that students who read 20 minutes give them better reading skills and this program could open up a whole new world." I do think this program would help students and not only sixth grade but other grades also. This is a fine and educated program. I think all principals around the world should enforce this program in their schools.
