Week of November 11 to 15

What We Learned this Week:

Bible: We have been reading about how Saul, fueled by jealousy, had been continuously chasing David through-out the wilderness. We have seen David on many occasions show mercy unto King Saul since he was "God's anointed one." The test is going to be pushed back to either the 25th or the 26th of November. The students already have their physical copies of the study guide.

I am including the English study guide here so you can support your student's studying. 

I am also including links to Blooket games the students can use to review at home. If the games' dates have expired, please let me know.






Crazy Kingdom 

Math: We have made it to the end of chapter 2. The students practiced for their test and will finish their actual tests on Monday before diving into chapter 3- division!

Writing: We have started our new unit on persuasive writing. We have spent this first week examining a persuasive essay and its parts. The students even tried their hand at coming up with good reasons and examples for a persuasive topic.

Spelling: Here is next week's spelling list!


Classroom Christmas Party Signup (Thursday, December 19)

Our classroom party is coming up on Thursday, December 19! I ask the parents to help me out, so please take a look at the SignUpGenius for more information AND to sign yourself up.

Tuesday, November 26 "Bring your Stuffed Animal" Day

The students are allowed to bring in a stuffed animal, blanket, OR pillow to school on this day. However, it has to be able to fit in their backpacks- nothing bigger than that, please! 


Spanish Immersion Field Trip (Monday, November 25)


Hola 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade parents!


I am so excited to share with you about an upcoming Spanish Immersion field trip. On Monday, November 25, the students and their teachers are headed to Yureika’s Delicias Catrachas in order to meet the owners and hear about how they have seen God working in their lives. We will be eating lunch there, as well- authentic, Honduran food. ¡Qué rico! There is no need to send money with your child to school on that day. The school will cover the food cost.


The teachers are requesting parent chaperones. If you would like to join us, please check out this SignUpGenius for more information.


If you have any questions, you can contact Hannah Damsteegt via email at <<hdamsteegt@hollandchristian.org>>.


Gracias!


Hannah Damsteegt

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.
