Jan. 11th-Jan 15th

 Hello wonderful 1A families.  Our scholars have been diligently working on their projects this past week.  We can’t wait to see their great work come together for our Historical Wax Museum event on Wednesday.

Please make sure to read the Echo and any emails from the school for important information.    

REPORT CARDS/EVALUATIONS:
It was announced in the Athenian Echo on Friday that report cards are available on the Power School Parent Portal.  If you are having password trouble and are unable to log onto the portal please contact Mrs.- Miller at CMiller@archwaytriviumeast.org.

PROJECT WEEK:
Last week the first grade team sent home a letter about the project week presentation taking place this Wednesday, January 13th.  The letter was placed in your scholar's red homework folder.  There was additional information included in the Athenian Echo that was sent out on Friday.   

As far as for the written essay, today (Monday) we are going to continue to work on it in class.  Those students who are finished with their final draft will have a copy to bring home and be able to practice presenting.  Those who have not finished their final draft will be able to finish it Monday night.  Students will also have their copy for Tuesday night so they can be confident when presenting their information to the class on Wednesday. 

CLASSROOM SUPPLY REMINDERS:
As stated in the blog last week, scholars will need math WORKBOOK 1B - COMMON CORE edition starting tomorrow (Tuesday the 12th).  If your scholar does not have the workbook at school, please make sure it is here tomorrow.
