Week of March 6 to 10

 What We Learned this Week:

Bible: This week, we studied the sin that David committed with Bathsheba. We talked about how David must have felt after he committed the sin, and we connected that to how we feel after we ourselves have committed sin. We also talked about how God is a God of love and forgiveness. 

Math: This week, we learned that it is important to stay on top of memorizing the multiplication and division tables. We used our knowledge of multiplication and division to identify factor pairs of numbers and determine if a number is a prime or composite number.

Grammar: We reviewed the Spanish present perfect this week, and the students used this knowledge in order to play "Two Truths and a Lie" during class. It was a lot of fun! We also studied the "ch", "rr," and "ll" Spanish sounds and played a big game of Pictionary. I think the students really enjoyed playing these games this week.

Writing: This week, the students created their table of contents for their personal expertise narratives. They also continued to work on writing out their chapters. 

Social Studies: We took some time this week to talk about what culture is and its characteristics. We ended our lesson by talking about the rich, diverse culture present in Holland and at Rose Park itself. 

4th Grade Parent Teacher Conferences:

Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for March 20 and 27, and they will be student-led. This means that the students must be present during the conferences. In addition, both of these dates (March 20 and 27) will be in-person. There is no virtual option. 

Parents, there will be a part of the conference in which your student will ask you to name one thing you think they are good at. Please think of a response to that question before the conference.

Lansing Trip:

Please check your emails for information on the upcoming Lansing trip scheduled for Wednesday, March 22. I will also include a link to the information here. 

From the Office:

Kids Food Basket Week Is Coming

Our prayer, as your partners, is that the words we say, the behaviors we model and the experiences we plan would shape your children’s heart to look just a little more like Jesus’ heart every day. By embedding our Holland Christian Discipleship Practices in the learning activities and daily life of our community, we believe we help to prepare our children for a life lived closer to God’s call as Kingdom Bringers.

50 schools from throughout West Michigan will be jumping in to work together to help bring food to “nourish kids to be their best” thanks to the leadership of Kids Food Basket.

Guess what! Rose Park is invited to join in with this important effort. Every child knows the discomfort of hunger. Many of our children don’t understand the depth of struggle with food insecurities but we certainly can work together to help ease the pain children who are our neighbors are feeling. March 20-March 24 we will live into Kids Food Basket Week! Take a peek at this flyer to learn about some of the ways your family can also get involved if you choose: KFB Week 2023-School Flyer. You’ll find a wish list of food items children in our area have shared that they enjoy eating the most. There is a QR code your family can contribute to this dear organization if you’d like. And, finally, you can wear orange on Go Orange Day, March 24. Orange is the color of Childhood Hunger Awareness and we want to help make a difference. As we grow in our gardening skills, our dream is to one day raise fresh, organic treats for these yummy sack suppers.

Would you like to participate? We'll be collecting food from the wish list gathered from children close by right in our neighborhood! Here are some of their favorite foods for the sack suppers we'd like to collect:

• Nutri-Grain bars

• Fruit cups

• Cheerios

• Raisin boxes

• Cheez-It crackers 

• Goldfish crackers 

Additionally, if you'd like to contribute to the mission good work Kids Food Basket provides in our community, please feel free to use this QR code for a direct link

Parent/Teacher Conference Yummies

Parent Board is looking for donations to feed the teachers during conferences, Monday March 20. We are excited to provide our teachers a fun Charcuterie board to snack on after school! We need all kinds of meat, cheeses, treats and whatever you think we should throw on a board!! Please bring the items to school by Monday morning before lunch time so we can put it all together before school gets out at 3pm! You guys are amazing, I know our teachers love not having to worry about food or drink on conference day so they can focus on chatting with families!! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4FA5A92AA1FD0-march

What We Learned this Week: Bible:  This week, we studied David's desire to build a temple for God. We talked about how God sometimes says "no" as an answer to our desires. Just like David, we cannot allow that to make us feel bitter. God's will and plan is always good and perfect.  Math:  The students finished up their Unit 3 tests this week. We have started Unit 4 which is all about algebra. We started off by simplifying like expressions. I am including some practice exercises. If your student wishes to practice simplifying like expressions, s/he can complete this page and turn it in. I will provide feedback. Writing:  We are now officially finished with the Persuasive Essays. We look forward to next week when we move on to the Personal Expertise Essay. Social Studies:  The students finished their Geography of the United States Google Slides Project this week. We will be studying movements of people within the United States next week.  February 12 to 23 S...

What We Learned this Week Bible : We are kicking off our Bible class by understanding how Scripture interprets Scripture. We are studying the book of Philippians to do so. We investigated the events that took place during Paul's second missionary journey along with the people he met. Ultimately, we learned that Paul's primary focus was to know Christ even more- which should be our motive as well.  This unit is very short, so the students will be taking a quiz over the material we have learned thus far late next week. However, it is quite possible that the quiz will be pushed to early the following week. The students will be given a hard copy of the study guide, and I am including a digital copy of the study guide here as well. I also like to include links to a gamified version of the study guide. The platform is called "Blooket," and the students should be familiar with it. Here are the game links if your student wishes to play the games: Tower Defense 2 Monster Braw...

We have read up on how Ruth and Naomi traveled back to Bethlehem and how Ruth met Boaz.  The students will be taking the Judges and Ruth Test early in the week of September 30 to October 4. I will be providing the students a physical copy of the Spanish study guide on Monday. I am providing an electronic version of the Spanish study guide here . I am also including an English study guide for parent use only. Feel free to use this resource to support your student.  Additionally, I have made a Blooket using the test questions. I am including the game links here as another study resource for your student.
