The scholars are doing

an awesome job at school,

and making tremendous
strides in their learning! On
Monday, the scholars will
bring home their very first
progress report, which
gives you a good indication
of how well they are doing
so far. Please call, text, or
email me if you would like
to set up a conference,
where we can discuss spe-
cific details regarding your
scholars progress!
I would like to remind all
families about the weekly
homework paper that
scholars bring home each
Monday. These forms out-
line the homework assign-
ments that I believe will
support their learning in
the classroom. Depending
on each childs personal
strengths, it may not be
feasible to complete each
assignment every night, and
thats ok! Just work on
homework assignments for
30 minutes each night,
Monday-Thursday, and then
initial next to each assign-
ment your scholar has com-
pleted. On Friday, scholars
will turn in their homework
sheets, which I collect for
a grade. I began counting
homework for a grade be-
ginning last week (week 5),
so please make sure you
and/or another family mem-
ber are helping scholars
complete their homework!
Additionally, please
make sure you are checking
your scholars backpack
each night. Often times, I
will send home, or will ask
scholars to put important
documents and assignments
in their backpacks that
need your attention. It is
also helpful to take any
work scholars did at school
out of their backpackthey
love showing you all their
hard work, and its great
review of what they learned
at school! Thank you!

At school, scholars are continuing to learn about the Seven Habits. We focused on
Habit #5 last week, which asks us to listen to other peoples ideas and feelings, so
that we can better understand them. We also talked about how important it is to
look someone in their eyes when speaking to them, in order to communicate better.
This coming week, we will begin learning about Habit #6Synergize!

Then to Be Understood!
We Are Reaching for the Stars!

Its September! Although it may be hard to believe, the
weather will start to cool down in a few weeks. When this does
happen, please make sure you review the uniform policy at
Paideiathis policy only allows scholars to wear plain-colored
sweaters that match the schools dress code. Thanks for your
help with this!

One more reminder! Please make sure you supply your
scholar with an extra pair of clothes that I can keep at school,
in case of an accident/spill/etc I have had a few families
bring in clothes (thank you!), but I would like each scholar to
have a back-up pair of shorts/pants, underwear, socks, and a t-
shirt. Thanks!
Cooler Weather in our FutureReally?!?!?!
Coming Up...
There is so much learning going on at Paideia!
We wrapped up our exploration of the Five Senses,
and are now moving on to the Scientific Method! We
will be having a lot of fun with this unit, so prepare to
hear a lot of fun stories about science from your
scholar these next few weeks!
In social studies, we learned about out state of
Arizona. This week, we will begin learning about the
United States of America! We will be looking at maps,
learning about other states, and exploring many of the
great aspects of our wonderful country!
Remember to sign your scholars agenda every night! Thank you!
