Week of May 20 to 24

What We Learned this Week:

Bible: We have been studying the story of King Ahab's death and how it fulfilled Elijah's and Micaiah's prophecy.

Math: The students reviewed all we have learned in this chapter and took their unit practice test. They will be taking the actual test when we come back from the long weekend.

Reading: We are making wonderful progress in "Number the Stars" and the other historical fiction chapter books the students are reading with their groups. We will make further progress next week.

Writing: This week, the students are writing their rough drafts for their faith writing pieces. 

No Homework!

I will not be assigning homework next week. Yay! 

Plant Sale Update: 

Thank you to all who came to purchase plants and visit our wonderful student "workers." What a blast. We made about $550! The 4th graders will be tithing 10% of this amount to the Lopez family as they prepare for their move to Guatemala this summer. We pray over this family and we pray that this financial gift may bless them in whatever they may need. As for the rest of the money. The 4th graders are brainstorming ideas together, and each class will write a letter to Mrs. Rynsburger with suggested ideas. We will see where this takes us!

From the Office:

Guinea Pig Home - WANTED - A summer home for 3 guinea pigs. They currently live in Mrs. VanderZwaag's 4th grade classroom, but will be very lonely during the summer months. If you'd consider taking them to your house for the summer, please contact Mrs. VanderZwaag.  Email her at kvanderzwaag@hollandchristian.org.  Thank you!

Rosie & Parker are at the Critter Barn - Our dear goats Rosie and Parker will be spending their summer at the Critter Barn. If you want to visit them and show them some love this summer, we would love for your family to pay them a visit!

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 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.
