BARGAIN FOR FRANCES:
Next week the first grade will be celebrating the completion of the 3rd quarter of learning by doing some fun literacy activities centered around Bargain for Frances. We are in need of the following supplies: - colored craft pipe cleaners - plastic pony beads (or other types of plastic beads) - quart-size and/or sandwich size zip-lock bags If you are able to donate any of these items, please send them to school with your scholar by this Friday. IMPORTANCE OF DRESS CODE: As Mr. Philabaum stated in the weekly Athenian Echo this past Friday, dress code is very important in all of the GreatHearts Schools. As a reminder, all students must wear belts with their pants or shorts. For more information and answers to your questions about dress code policy, please open the link below. The dress code information begins at about page 43. https://archwaytriviumeast.greatheartsamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2020/07/Archway-Trivium-East-Handbook.pdf GENERAL ACADEMICS: Spalding - Students will learn 11 new words on Monday, 11 new words on Tuesday, and 8 new words on Wednesday.

Please keep the information page in a safe place and use it as a guide when helping your scholar with homework. *Note* - Please do not skip ahead on the math homework. The math workbook pages are, of course, listed for the week on the homework log. Our grade level math planner says that there is a lot of thought that goes into which pages are assigned for each day, and they match what is taught in class on that day as close as possible. The purpose of the math pages is for extra practice on the skills that were taught that day. Since each lesson builds on the next it is important not to skip ahead. Thanks!!
