An arpeggio is the notes in a chord played in a sequence, one after the other instead of simultaneously.
Arpeggios are usually introduced in Suzuki Book One starting with the key of A major, then D major, and then G major. In Suzuki Book Two, students are introduced to D Minor, B Flat Major, and A Minor.
Practice of specific keys is generally pared with work on a piece in the same key until the key’s scales and arpeggios are mastered. More advanced students will practice a scale and arpeggio each day rotating keys each days. At first students play one and two octave scales, and gradually add in additional octaves as experience playing in multiple positions increases.

I just sent you an email and I bet this answers it! I still am eager to have your guidance. Should we use a page from Book One to guide us? Thank you!

The scale in book one starts on open A and doesn’t include the G and D strings. It is on page 30 in the book. Here’s a link to a set of two octave scales which include the G and D strings for A major. The 3s on G and D are high / above the tape line for A major.
