This week we learned what it means to "fill our cups" with God's Word.
Each morning, we open God's Word to a specific passage to fill our hearts and minds with God's True Words.
- Our Bible stories this week will introduce to some of Jesus' closest friends like Mary, Martha, and Lazarus.
- Matthew 28:1-10 is our Bible memory passage for the month of March.
- Long division is proving to be very challenging for some, so we continue with consistent practice! This week we are introducing long division with decimals and considering what to do with the remainder.
- We will continue learning about the events leading up to the American Revolution this week.
- We are finished learning about each type of non-fiction text structure, so this week in reading we will be using what we know to read and identify each structure.
- Drafting our informational writing is nearing completion, so the fifth graders will begin publishing their writing this week.
- To connect with our learning about "cause & effect" in reading, the fifth graders tried their hand at constructing "chain reactions" in our STEM lab. They did an OUTSTANDING job being creative, working together, and problem solving! (See pics and videos)

As a 6th grader, your child will have the opportunity to join middle school sports. Please see the information below:
- 21-22 Sports Registration: All families with students going into 6-12th grades will need to register here for athletics through Final Forms. Registration for 21-22 athletics will be available on April 1st. Fall high school sports begin on August 11 (football August 9) and fall middle school sports begin on August 23.
- 21-22 Sports Physicals: The athletic department anticipates the requirement of a pre-participation physical (dated after April 15, 2021) by the MHSAA to participate in school sports for next year. Typically, Holland Christian offers physical night appointments each spring for athletes to meet this requirement, but at this point in time we are still working on the feasibility of this opportunity. Athletes may need to individually schedule an appointment with their primary care provider between April 15 and the start of their first practice or try-out in any upcoming season. Physical forms will be available to be printed from individual Final Forms accounts to take to your appointment for your DO/MD/NP/PA to sign.
