Dear Parents,
This coming week we will begin sending home nightly spelling homework. The words your students will learn in class are to practiced at home to help build their vocabulary for reading and writing.
I want to address the homework policy for fifth grade with this added assignment. The Archway Trivium East Family Handbook states that fifth graders are to expect 60 minutes to 90 minutes of homework a night. The homework is meant as continued practice of the skills taught in class. It is recommended that students spend 15 to 20 minutes on one subject of homework and then move on to another.
Thank you for your support of our academy,
Mr. Arbogast
Spalding - 30 spelling words for the week
Grammar - students will be fixing the grammatical and mechanical errors in their Fix-It Grammar books.
Language Arts - students will practice forming a summary of a single story. They will practice identifying characters, setting, conflict, and resolution.
History - we will continue studying the Inca civilization in South America.
