Hello 1A Families,
It has been a busy season. The concerts last week were beautiful. Our scholars did a fabulous job. We have a few more days to go and are working hard to get all pieces of our rich curriculum into our little sponges.
I also wanted to mention good practices when it comes to illness. If your child is sick especially with fever please keep them home to rest and get well. We are being diligent during this season to disinfect surfaces and teach the kiddos different ways to not spread germs. Please also talk about these things at home so that we can all do our best to stay healthy during this season.
Below is a few reminders about uniforms and the dress code. The full policy can be found on pages 50-54 in our Family Handbook.
· Students may wear the school sweater or pullover fleece jacket in the classroom
· Students may wear a non-school sweater or jacket, or a school spirit sweater outside the classroom (ex. recess, PE)
· Girls may wear tights with their skirts/jumpers, but not leggings (tights have feet, leggings do not)
· School uniform shirts have long and short sleeve options, students may not wear a long-sleeve shirt under their short-sleeve uniform
Some uniform reminders not related to weather:
· Outerwear and backpacks should be free of logos, messages, and icons of popular culture. This includes keychains/toys attached to backpacks
· All shoes must be solid white or solid black low-top athletic shoes
· Students may wear spirit-wear including shirts and sweaters on spirit days
· Boy's socks: solid black, navy, or white covering the ankle but below the shin
Girl's socks: solid black, navy, or white covering the ankle but below the shin or knee-high
ARCHWAY TRIVIUM EAST PROJECT WEEK
The first week in January after Winter Break (January 8-11) is Project Week at Archway Trivium East. During these four days, we have half-day dismissal with the expectation that students will use the afternoons to work on their projects. Projects will be presented by students on the evening of Wednesday, January 16 at our annual school-wide Project Night. This year our theme is History! More information will be sent home soon.
ACADEMICS:
Spalding - Students will learn 10 new words on Monday, 10 new words on Tuesday, 10 new words on Wednesday, review on Thursday, and spelling test on Friday.
Math - Review of concepts taught during the first semester. Students will be bringing their review materials home in their red homework folders on a daily basis. They are not graded or checked for accuracy. Please go through the materials with your child. If you notice patterns or particular concepts that your child is struggling with and would have questions on ways to help them please contact. me. I do encourage you to have your scholar continue practicing math facts during break. We will start studying "Numbers to 40" in mid-January. The general knowledge and growing confidence of math facts with help the students immensely when learning the concepts.
History - Aztecs, Incas, and Spanish Conquerors
Literature - Frog and Toad All Year
Grammar - Review of common nouns, proper nouns, and pronouns
