1/28-2/1

A Day for Friendship - Thursday, February 14th is Great Hearts Day! We have reserved this special day to focus on the virtue of friendship and celebrate the traits that make a great-hearted student. Teachers are planning interactive and fun activities centered around these topics, and time will be set aside for students to create hand-made Great Hearts Day cards for their classmates.  Archway Arete strives to cultivate a rich, academic environment rooted in the classical tradition. This many times requires popular culture to be left at the door. On that note, students will not be permitted to bring store-bought valentines, candy, or gifts to school. Thank you for partnering with us.

Field Day
Friday 2/1 is field day! Please send a lunch with your child that day! We are wearing red and we are Athens. I am still looking for one more parent to donate snacks (thank you to the mom who is donating cutie oranges!) I also need a cooler for these snacks.

Language Arts
We will continue The Trumpet of the Swan this week. Spelling will be typical, with a test on Friday. Writing and grammar will focus on informational writing as we finish our essay on the Titanic. We will continue to work with prepositions and memorize the list together. Students will review their stanzas to memorize Father William. The recitations will be on Feb. 6.

Math
We will be working with fractions on a number line, fractions of money, and adding/subtracting them. On Friday we will take a test on these skills.


Science
This week we will be learning about light. Students will learn how light travels and how shadows are formed.

History
We will take our Vikings assessment on Monday. Then we will begin our Earliest Americans unit. We will see how the earliest Americans crossed the Beringia Land Bridge and then learn about the Inuit people.

Planet Project Update

Hello Families! Today was research day for our planet project and the students had a little over an hour to research information about their assigned planet. Many scholars were able to find plenty of information and fill up the research sheet, however there are also many scholars that could benefit from some additional help. We will be using this information to write an essay later this week, so it is important that they have enough information written on their research sheet. We used these websites: National Geographic and  Nasa . If you are able, help your student to peruse these sites for details about their assigned planet and fill in the information on their research sheet. Thank you so much for your support! Please feel free to reach out with any questions Mrs. Arnold LArnold@ArchwayArete.org
