Parents,
Thank you for sending in headphones last week. We successfully completed our test yesterday, and I will return the headphones to your scholar this week. We are now in need of a composition journal. This journal will keep our writing/grammar notes organized. If you could send this journal in by February 6th, that would be extremely helpful. If there are any problems obtaining this journal, please let me know. Mrs. Bennett

Parents, I hope everyone has a wonderful last few days of January! Upcoming events: January 30th - Math Benchmark test on the computer February 10th - Half Day (No lunch, Pick-up at 12:00) February 20th - No school February 28th - Jump Rope for Heart This week: There will be 30 spelling words this week. Please complete the markings on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for homework. Markings are not required on Thursday. In math, we will continue to learn more addition mental math strategies. 234+98=___. We can add 100 because 100 is close to 98. We would get 334 and can subtract 2 because we added 2 too many. 334-2=332. There will be a quiz on Thursday. We will begin subtraction mental math strategies on Friday. In history, we will begin to study the War of 1812. There will be a quiz on Friday. In literature, we will read chapters 12 and 13 in Stuart Little. There will not be a quiz this week. If you have any questions, please let me know. Mrs. Bennett Windy Nights By Robert Louis Stevenson Whenever the moon and stars are set, Whenever the wind is high, All night long in the dark and wet, A man goes riding by. Late in the night when the fires are out, Why does he gallop and gallop about? Whenever the trees are crying aloud, And ships are tossed at sea, By, on the highway, low and loud, By at the gallop goes he. By at the gallop he goes, and then By he comes back at the gallop again. Parents, How are we already in the last week of January? This quarter is flying by! Upcoming events: January 27th - Spirit Day January 30th - Math Benchmark test - Please send in a pair of headphones in a ziploc bag with his or her name on it. This test will be taken on the computer. February 3rd - Science Night February 10th - Half Day - 12:00 dismissal This week: We will have 30 spelling words. Please complete markings on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Markings are not required on Thursday. Please study phonograms 1-70 nightly as well. In math, we will begin mental math strategies for addition and subtraction. We will use the strategy of making ten and making one hundred. An example for making ten would sound like this: 256 + 9 = ____ I should take one from 256 and add it to the 9 to make 10. Then I add the 10 to 255 to make 265. An example of making one hundred would sound like this: 497 + 13 = _____ I should take three from 13 to make 500 and add the remaining ten to make 510. There will be a quiz on Friday. In science, we will review on Tuesday and have a final physics test on Wednesday. Please study notes accordingly. We will begin a new history unit on Thursday. In literature, we will read chapters 9-11 of Stuart Little. There will not be a quiz this week. Please let me know if you have any questions. Mrs. Bennett Parents,

Upcoming events: January 11th - MOD Pizza Fundraiser January 11th - Project Night - I wanted to give you a few reminders about project night, this Wednesday! Please have your scholar dress up as their assigned Historical Figure. Scholars need to be back on campus at 5:50 Wednesday night, in their costumes. Scholar were given class time to rewrite their summarizes in first person format. They will read from these "scrolls" Wednesday night during project night, so there is no need to worry about them memorizing their summaries. January 16th - No school January 27th - Spirit Day This week: In Spalding we will have 30 words. Please make sure your scholar is using their very best Spalding handwriting and marking each word as they write it 3 times each for homework. Please continue to study phonograms 1-70. There will not be Spalding homework on Wednesday night due to Project Night. In math we will continue working on multiplication and division for 4s and 5s. There will be a quiz on Friday! In grammar we will be reviewing everything we have covered thus far. On Thursday, ask your scholar if they can sing any part of our verb chant! We will be starting science this week. We will study physics and how to measure physics. Please remember to write a nightly summary on what they have learned about physics for the day. There will be a quiz on Friday! Today, we began reading from our literature book Stuart Little. There will not be a quiz this week. Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see you Wednesday night! Mrs. Bennett Parents,
Archway Trivium East would like to invite you to our Tour through History Project Night event. You will have the opportunity to meet and interact with some of the most important figures in the history of the world from ancient times through the 16th century and to celebrate the learning of our Kindergarten through 5th grade scholars. Please plan to arrive with your scholar in costume at 5:50pm. They will then report to their classrooms. Guests will assemble in the courtyard until 6:00 when the community will be invited to begin the Tour through History where they can visit the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome; see the symbols of our very own United States come to life; and view a museum of the Middle Ages through the Renaissance. Our scholars are excited to share their learning from Project Week and we encourage you to visit as many classrooms as you can on this evening. Plan to make your way back towards your scholar’s classroom at around 6:45 to be ready to depart from the event at 7:00. Guidelines for costumes: · Your costume should cover at least the same areas as the Archway polo and shorts/skirts (just above the knee). · Items in your costume should not have any logos on them. · You may wear non-uniform shoes (such as sandals), provided that they are appropriate for your character. · No masks, face paint, or hair dye are permitted. · Small props are allowed. No props that are weapons are permitted. If you have any questions, please let me know. Mrs. Bennett Parents, Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful Winter break.

Each day in class, we will model exactly what your scholar needs to complete each night at home. We will send home an example of what we complete in class, so you understand what your scholar's assignment should look like. Be looking for your child's project week packet and research article in their red folder today. Tuesday: Answer the provided questions based on the research that was given, along with any research you find yourself if needed.
