My husband and I were enjoying our games in two different areas of the house, so we combined spaces on Saturday. I had been hogging the TV, so this was a good compromise. It took lots of cords to hook up the Switch to a monitor and still have sound. Cords are one of Cosmo's favorite snacks, so we were a little nervous and took down the setup rather quickly. **Can you find Cosmo? He is partaking in his favorite activity-eating.**</div>

Classroom is to upload scans of the two weeks of paper packets. Even if you
emailed me scans, I will be reaching out and asking that you upload it to Google
Classroom. Looking at the logistics, this will get your student the feedback
they need better because the program lets Ms. Vaughn and I comment directly on
the assignment. If you need help, let us know! There are also tutorial videos
attached to the assignment and I go through how to turn in scans on my Google
Tutorial, posted on the stream.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and I have been sharing the email communication and question answering roles.
If you need help, please email both of us. We have worked out a schedule where I
answer most emails in the morning and Ms. Vaughn answers in the afternoons.
This allows us to answer your questions quickly while we grade and plan
lessons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to become familiar with Google Classroom. On Thursday, students will read about
the human spine and the different types of vertebrae that make it up. If your
child wants more enrichment on this topic, </span><span style="font-family: "Segoe Print";"><a href="https://expeditions.gle/fdl/RW9c"><span style="color: windowtext; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="-webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">this Google Expedition</span></span></a></span><span style="font-family: "Segoe Print"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> is a fun and interactive way to learn more about

will read about the three leading generals of the Civil War: Stonewall Jackson,
Robert E. Lee, and Ulysses S. Grant. They will compare their similarities and
differences, both in their military training and battle tendencies. You and

tell with the whole class. Students can share a pet, their garden, or something
they’ve been working on (to give a few examples). Students can expect to meet Cosmo,
Gustav, and Miss Priss as part of my show and tell. On Friday at 1:30, I will
lead a math tutoring session. These Zoom meetings will be about a half hour in
length. I will send the link invitations later today both through email and posted

of healthy bones and what they can do to keep their bones strong as they

characters, events, themes, and virtues that appear in our books. We encourage
you to read and discuss <i>A Wrinkle in Time</i> with your child to help
support their learning and enjoyment! To that end, linked below is a Scholastic
Reading Guide for<i> A Wrinkle in Time</i>. It includes discussion questions
for each chapter as well as enrichment activities and general notes on the

Q. Where and when should we turn in our child's packet?<br />
<br />
A. In a few weeks, we will give directives for an online turn in or physical drop off. We are still working out that plan as a network.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Segoe Print";">Welcome to our first week of
remote learning! In an effort to keep some normalcy, I will be posting my blog
with similar updates at the same time every week. As promised, there are some
cat pictures at the end of today’s post. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Segoe Print"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Starting on Monday, all teachers will be available
to answer your questions. You are welcome to reach out to any of the six
teachers for help. We ask that if you reach out to your homeroom teacher,
please email BOTH the lead and assistant. We will share the email thread and
whichever teacher is “on duty”, they will get back to you quickly by replying
to everyone in the thread. This will help us as teachers keep our ducks in a
row. Ms. Vaughn and I will be available in shifts throughout the day between
7:30 and 4:00. </span><span style="font-family: "Segoe Print"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

completed on a separate sheet of paper. Examples of how to do this are on the
answer keys in the pack of the packet. The packet contains all of the readings
and worksheets, which is why it is lengthy. There are also many online
resources for reading the history text (in the blurb below) and some PDF
versions of “A Wrinkle in Time” (links in the packet).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

science, we are beginning our unit on the human body and its major systems.

<span style="font-family: "Segoe Print";">This week in History, we will
continue our unit on the American Civil War and learn how the War began with
the battles of Fort Sumter and Bull Run. We will discuss the Union’s strategy,
put forth by General Scott, and its attempted execution in the east by General
McClellan. We will discuss figures such as General Robert E. Lee and the
different goals of the Union and Confederacy that determined many of their
actions early in the War. You and your child may access our textbook online at

math, students will review dividing fractions in word problems. Students will
also review line plots, which were covered in fourth grade. This will serve as

3-5! Each year classes are assigned a Greek City State for their
team. This year, your child’s team is Corinth, and our team color is red.
Your child may wear a plain red shirt (no logos) other than class section or
Greek City State and athletic pants or shorts. We ask that students do not wear
leggings as a standard rule for both the Archway and Prep side Athletic Field
Day attire. There will be no school lunch offered on Athletic Field Day.

Renaissance Fair Kid’s Day rules, schools must pre-purchase tickets before the
festival. This keeps our scholars safe, as not anyone can just walk in on Kid’s
Day. We will send an email asking for chaperones on Wednesday this week and
chaperones will be chosen on a first come-first serve basis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

friendship and celebrate the traits that make a great-hearted student. Teachers
are planning interactive and fun activities centered around these topics.
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

least one book resource. We will be researching in class all week, so the
sooner students have their book, the better. We will also be talking about what
credible internet sources look like and how to use the internet responsibly. If
you have any questions, please reach out to a teacher. If you have trouble
finding a book resource, please reach out to Mrs. Lynch and we will work out a
solution. </span><span style="font-family: "Segoe Print"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

science, we will be continuing our study of botany. Study guides were passed
out last week and will be due February 7th, and the test will be on February
11th. We will learn about the three types of seedless vascular plants, as well
as the life cycles of mosses and ferns and the two types of vascular tissue
inside plants. Please note that we will be studying how different types of
plants reproduce, and will be using the appropriate scientific vocabulary.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This week, students will focus on converting fractions to decimals multiplying
and dividing decimals, multiplying and dividing decimals by powers of 10, and
multiplying decimals by 2-digit numbers. Graph paper is extremely helpful for
students to use to keep track of their decimals and place value. All students
are allowed to use graph paper in class, on homework, and on tests. Students

students may do test corrections on any math quiz for partial credit (fill in
the blank sheets, not multiple choice homework sheets). </span><span style="font-family: "Segoe Print"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
