Ms. Dozier

Ms. Dozier is done blogging for the 2008-2009 academic school year at Durham Nativity School. ¡Me encanta summer! If you have questions or comments, and in the words of my favorite English teacher, Mrs. Riddick, criticism…please leave them here. I will respond my precious jewels! You are now my precious jewels ONLY because I have a summer break from you–do not get excited! Oh, and go and see TRANSFORMERS! It’s more than meets the eye–they’re robots in disguise!

Love,

Maestra or Magistra, whichever you call me

“We will be honoring our 8^th grade DNS Men with a special “8^th Grade Kings Day” Thursday, June 4, 2009!  Each 8^th grade student has been given a survey to complete to give all of our 7^th and 6^th grade students an idea of who they are, what they like, things they like, etc.  These completed surveys will be sent home in the Blue Communications Envelopes with all of the 6^th and 7^th grade students.  Then, Thursday, June 4^th, each 6^th and 7^th grade student is to honor all of the 8^th graders with special gifts, cards, poems, tributes, etc. to wish them well as they embark on their high school journey!  Here is a picture of how that day will look…in the morning the students will take their last final exam.  Then, the 8^th grade students will be crowned “kings” for the day and be taken by limousine to lunch with me in their honor.  Once we return from lunch the 6^th and 7^th grade students will have a special assembly to honor the 8^th graders by presenting them with their gifts and by saying a few special words to celebrate them.  We will then move into graduation rehearsal after the special 8^th grade assembly.  Please make sure that your son takes the time to honor the 8^th graders in a special way!  This is a very exciting time for them and they need to know that we are proud of them and wish them the best as they move into their future!”  I.
