Curriculum Tidbits:
- In math, we will continue learning about area and perimeter as well as how to find equivalent fractions.
- Matthew 28:1-10 is the Bible memory passage for the month of March.
- In Bible, we are spending time learning about the life and calling of Moses and how God used him to lead His people.
- Our social studies unit on the economy of Michigan will continue. Did you hear about how the class played musical chairs to learn about scarcity last week?
- Last week we did some shifting and decided to jump into learning about poetry in both reading and writing. (We will save our book clubs for later this spring!)
- Building forts to read in was a BIG HIT! We had some really creative structures!
Requested Announcements:
- TULIP TIME is coming! 1st through 4th grade parents, please fill out this google form to indicate your students participation and attire for the Kinderparade on May 9th.
- Swimming Lessons: Our Holland Aquatic Center is providing swim lessons for us again this year! I recognize this program is new for some children and families. Because our children are blessed to be raised in Michigan, surrounded by bodies of water, we believe this safety instruction is a blessing that we pray they will never need but feel responsible to equip them. If you find yourself pondering over the “why” of lessons, please take a listen to HC mom Jenny White on the why for swim safety. HCAC Swim School welcome video will help you understand a bit about the logistics. Our 1st-4th graders will be bused to the pool each day the weeks of April 14-25.
