This week we in Spalding will add 21 new words to our Spalding notebooks! Spalding homework should be done with your scholar each night. Spalding words should always be dictated for your student to write and never simply copied. Spalding work must always be written in cursive. We will have a spelling and phonogram test on Friday, September 8.

A brief word about homework:
Homework is an integral part of the education at Archway Trivium East. Each night you can expect your scholar to have Spalding, reading, math, and history or science homework. Completion of homework is immensely important to both the mastery of learning and your student's grade. The estimated time required in 3rd grade for homework each night is 60-75 minutes for the average scholar. Some will finish a little quicker and some will require a little more time. In third grade we are working on fostering independence and academic diligence for the rigors of fourth grade and beyond. If you have any questions about assigned homework please feel free to reach out to me by email.
A Look Ahead:
September 8: Picture Day
September 15: Flag Pole dedication. More details to come.
September 21: Spalding night at ACTE
