Week of March 24 to 28

What We Learned this Week:

Math: This week, the students learned how to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions and vice versa. We used that knowledge to learn how to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators. Finally, we worked on solving word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators. 

Reading: We studied the symbolism of names of characters and places in our books in addition to investigating the symbolism of the settings of our stories.

Writing: The students planned out a chapter of their personal expertise essay and are starting to type it out.

Social Studies: We are currently studying the three branches of government, their jobs, and their checks on the other two branches. We have also been studying and identifying the powers of the federal and state governments.

Spelling: Here is the link to the next spelling test! Please note that the spelling test date is April 18.

*I will NOT be assigning any homework for the week of March 31 to April 3.*

Lansing Field Trip April 2, 2025:

We are getting excited for our upcoming field trip! Here is the document that was sent home with the students explaining some important information.

From the Office:

  1. TULIP TIME is coming! 1st through 4th grade parents - please fill out this google form to indicate your students participation and attire for the Kinderparade on May 8th.

  2. Swimming Lessons Our Holland Aquatic Center is providing swim lessons for us again this year! I recognize this program is new for some children and families. Because our children are blessed to be raised in Michigan, surrounded by bodies of water, we believe this safety instruction is a blessing that we pray they will never need but feel responsible to equip them. If you find yourself pondering over the “why” of lessons, please take a listen to HC mom Jenny White on the why for swim safety. HCAC Swim School welcome video will help you understand a bit about the logistics. Our 1st-4th graders will be bused to the pool each day the weeks of April 14-25.

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 Have Learned this Week: Bible:  We have moved on to the Samuel unit. We studied how God called him during the night and the significance of his conversation with God. Later, we learned of how the Israelites angered God and the attack of the Philistines which led to the capture of the ark of the covenant. We also saw Samuel acting on Israel's behalf and asking God to remember the Israelites before another battle against the Philistine army. We will be finishing this unit soon, and we will be testing over this unit on Tuesday, October 15. A paper study guide was sent home with the students on Thursday, October 10. I am including a digital version of the Spanish study guide here . I will also include an English study guide for parental use only.
