Curriculum Tidbits:
- It's time to dive into our new geometry unit this week! This knowledge will help us prepare for our Geometry Scavenger Hunt scheduled for Thursday, May 30. We will load busses at 12:30pm and meet at Centennial Park for the scavenger hunt which will take place all around downtown Holland from 12:45-1:45pm. All three third grade glasses will participate, so we will be in mixed groups. We would love your help for this hour of fun as the students earn points by finding geometric shapes in architecture, signs, and nature and take pictures with their iPads. If you are interested in being a group leader, please sent me an email.
- This week students will draft their annual "Faith Writing" as they reflect on how and where they see God in their lives.
- Our new Bible unit is entitled "God's Law" and follows the giving of the law to the Israelites in the wilderness.
- With only a few weeks left in the year, we've talked about finishing strong and giving our best right up until the end. This includes working to turn in our weekly required reading minutes as well has math homework when assigned.
- This month's Bible memory passage is Galatians 5:22-26.
