Curriculum Tidbits:
- In reading and writing our focus will center on Poetry over the course of the next few weeks.
- Our Bible stories this week will help us learn about the tabernacle.
- We continue learning about geometry and units of measurement in math.
- Social Studies continues centering on learning about Michigan's economy.
- Our Bible memory passage for the month of April is Acts 2:1-4.
- Swimming Lessons continue this week! On Friday (5/8) you are welcome to come to the Holland Aquatic Center to watch the third graders swim from the observation space on the second floor. We will be in the pool from approximately 11-11:35am.
- Thank you for returning the brightly colored, reddish paper came home last week about Tulip Time pickup. On Thursday (5/7), at the end of the Kinderparade route, I need to keep track of every one of my third graders until they are picked up. As a result, they will be told to let me know that their parent/pickup person is there so I can cross them off my list. I know everyone is in a hurry to grab their kiddos and go, so I will be working as quickly as possible to give your child the okay to leave once you arrive. Thank you!
