Dear Parents,

Welcome back from break! I hope it was relaxing and enjoyable for your students. They certainly earned it.  Thank you all of those who were here for Parent Teacher Conferences. I enjoyed talking about your child's progress and their performance thus far. If you have not yet conferenced with me, please reach out to me via email at jleonard@archwaylincoln.org and we can find a time to meet.

I am excited to announce the addition of Mrs. Fullerton to the 4th grade team. She is going to be an excellent teacher's assistance and we are blessed to have her.

This week, due to the shortness of it, we will not be having any Spalding words. Spelling will begin again starting next Monday.

We have a Prince Caspian quiz on Friday on Chapters 1-7. Students will be bringing their completed work home with them on Wednesday which they can use to help review what we have read thus far.

On the Friday before break I gave each student a copy of Paul Revere's Ride by Longfellow. They are expected to memorize this poem by the start of the 3rd quarter for Project Week. We will be going over it in parts as a class and rubrics will be going home to practice from. It is your job to practice with your student and sign the rubric to confirm they have memorized the part assigned for that week.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you and have a great week!

Mr. Leonard
