This a short week, but we still have some work to finish.
Parents PLEASE send the money for the field trip WITH your permission slips. If we don't have both, your child will remain behind the day of the field trip with another class, and that would make me very sad!
Please return all book bags on Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday are half days!
Wednesday will be our Unit/Holiday party and pack-up for the quarter.
Winter break starts on Thursday, December 22nd through Sunday, January 8th. School will resume on Monday, January 9th.
Quarter 2 Evaluations will be sent to parents on Friday, January 6that noon.
To Kindergarten and 1st grade families:
We are holding a grade-level team competition called
“Royalty for a Day” to see who can bring in the most tax credits to support
Archway Arete’s extracurricular clubs and sports. If Kindergarten and 1st
grade bring in the most tax credits, I will be crowned “Queen of Arts” for a
day when we return from our holiday break. As the Queen, I plan on
holding an Activity Extravaganza complete with games and dancing for all
my royal subjects! I will also hand out a special treat at the end of the
event. I appreciate all your help in asking friends, neighbors, and
family to help support Archway Arete and help us win this competition! I
cannot wait to become Queen!
Most Gratefully, Miss Weddle, Queen of Arts

details from the story. We will also work on basic conventions of a
proper sentence and rewrite model sentences.
Grammar:
Students will practice writing sentences using adjectives,
subject noun, verbs, and adverbs. They will review the five parts of a
sentence, and on Tuesday they will work independently to create two sentences
for a grade.
History:
This week in History we will learn about Jesus’ last week of
life on earth. We will learn about Palm Sunday, the crucifixion, and the
resurrection. On Wednesday we will celebrate our studies of Judaism and
Christianity in our end-of-the-year party, with special foods from each
religion, along with crafts and stories.
Math:
Over the next three days
we will spend time reviewing addition and subtraction with some very festive
winter activities. This will help us make sure that we have achieved mastery of
adding and subtracting so that we can start off next quarter ready to learn
even bigger numbers!
Science:
This week we will review the scientific method with a candy
cane experiment! We will predict what will happen if we put candy canes in cups
of vinegar, warm water, and cold water. After the experiment we will make
observations about the effect of vinegar, warm water, and cold water on the
candy canes.
I sincerely pray with all of my heart that my dear families have a blessed holiday season!
See you next year!
