Last week’s class motto was: Transition is Silent and Efficient, Exit Quietly, Enter Quietly, Silent, Facing Forward, Close Together
This week’s class motto is: Organization
is the Key
Last week we continued our discussion on
that and revisit how to exit the room quietly and enter the room quietly and
how to transition. We have also been practicing our “two-minute drill”. It
should take two minutes to unpack at the start of the day and two minutes to
pack up at the end of the day.
This week we will discuss organization
and the importance of being neat, tidy, and organized. This is something they
can practice at home as well.
Volunteers - I am so pleased to have so many parents
ready and willing to volunteer this year! I just wanted to remind everyone that
all volunteers are required to have fingerprint clearance here at Archway
Classical Academy. This policy is strictly monitored and even applies to those
who think they might like to chaperone on one of our field trips in the spring.
If you are interested and have not obtained the necessary clearance, please see
the Archway website for more information, or ask at the front office.
SUPPLIES NEEDED-

Below is a breakdown of what we will be

Students will read between the lines and decipher what the nuances are.

work in the Shurley Grammar book, covering adjectives, nouns, verbs, sentence
structure, and articles. Students will also write in their daily journals.
