Week of August 20 to 23

Hola parents! 

Welcome to our blog. I will send the link to the updated blog every Friday afternoon / evening-ish via your emails. 

In the blog, you will find snapshots of what we have been learning in each of our subjects. You will also find important announcements / updates from the office and even other specials teachers.

This week, we learned the expectations of being in 4th grade Spanish Immersion. The knowledge and understanding of how things are run in the classroom will create for that solid foundation to build learning. I am looking forward to diving into the content next week. 

It was so much fun getting to know the students! Oh parents, what an awesome group of kiddos we have. I feel incredibly blessed to be their teacher this year, and I expect marvelous things from them. 


Homework will be happening next week. The students will have three assignments to complete. Two math assignments and one reading assignment. 

Math:

- weekly math facts log (50 minutes of fluency practice- addition/subtraction, multiplication/division- each week) Our first math chapter is focusing on adding and subtracting large numbers. It might be a good idea to have your child review their addition/subtraction fluency facts. Ideas to review include: flashcards, memory game with flashcards, online math games, writing down fluency tables

- fluency facts worksheet to be completed on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday

Reading:

- weekly reading log (150 minutes of reading in SPANISH)

The students will receive their homework on Monday, and they are expected to turn in their completed homework assignments the following Monday (or the following day if there happens to be no school on that Monday). For example, next week the students will receive their homework assignments on Monday, August 26. However, due to there being no school on September 2, the students will turn in their completed homework assignments on Tuesday, September 3. 

Please feel free to read up about homework in the parent handbook. It's also linked near the top portion of the blog. 

From the Office:

  1. Rose Park Chapel:

Preschool - 5th Grade (All school) Chapel worship will take place on Mondays from 10:30-11:00. Feel free to join us in chapel if your schedule allows. For safety and security purposes we ask that you first check in at the office. We will give you a visitor badge and we’ll welcome you in the small gym for worship and learning.

  1. Communication:

Please email your child’s teacher and rp@hollandchristian.org if you need to pick up your child early or if your child’s attendance will need to be adjusted.

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...

What We Learned this Week: Bible:  We have finished up our study on the flawed prophet Samson. We are now studying another story that took place during the time of Israel's judges- the story of Ruth. 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.
