- On Wednesday, September 11th from 6:00-7:00 pm, K-5 parents are invited to a Curriculum Q&A Workshop in their children's classrooms. This will be an informal opportunity for teachers to answer your real-time questions regarding homework, curriculum, classroom routines, and more. Come and go as you are able, there is no formal agenda for this event. (Please note, teachers will be speaking to classroom specifics. To view our school-wide policies, please visit our Family Handbook.) To allow for efficient flow of conversation, we kindly recognize this as a parent-only event.
- Archway Classical Academy Arete is proud to announce our fourth annual Grandparents Day event. (Click here for more information.) Please RSVP here by September 13th. If you would like to submit a photo for our Grandparents Day slideshow, email a picture of you and your grandchild/ren to Jessica Vaughan, Academy Giving Manager at jvaughan@archwayarete.org. We look forward to having you join us for this year's celebration!
- Our classroom is out of tissues! During this very germ-y time of year, students are going through a lot of tissues throughout the day. If you are able to donate any tissues to our classroom, we would be very grateful! You can send them in with your child on Monday!
- Our August Virtue Award goes to June Heacock for demonstrating the virtue of responsibility! "June has been a wonder example of responsibility in our classroom this year. She is the Ambassador for our classroom and has, without fail, greeted each adult that has entered our classroom with a handshake, welcomed them into our room, and let them know what we are doing. She has not had to be reminded to carry out her job. She is a wonderful example to our peers!"
Lessons
Spalding: Students will lean 10 new words on Monday. On Tuesday and Wednesday we will set up page 3 of our Spalding Notebooks. On Thursday we will review the 10 words from Monday, and on Friday we will test.
Roots: .We will have a roots check on Monday over the 4 words we learned last week: video/visum, logos, verbum, and nomen/nominis. I have added these to the blog for your reference. We will learn 3 new words this week.
Math: Students will have a test Monday over the Order of Operations. Then we will move into learning about negative numbers! Please make sure your child is practicing math flashcards (multiplication and division) nightly if they struggle with their math facts.
