What have we been learning? - Just thought I would give you an update on what we have been doing in our different subjects.
Math - Fractions. Fractions. Fractions! Introducing the role fractions play in our lives. The students are learning how to add and subtraction fractions with the same denominators. They are also practicing how to change fractions into mixed numbers and improper fractions.
Writing - Just wrapped up our last persuasive writing unit. The students came home with an copy of their persuasive essay. Take a peek! Our next unit is literary essay.
Reading - We are wrapping up our non-fiction or information unit. The students are currently researching and reading about one specific topic to share out/present to their classmates.
Bible - Kings, kings, and more bad kings. We are currently reading through the historical books in the Old Testament. The students are learning about the nitty gritty of the Kings of Israel and Judah. At the end of every disappointing story, we are reminded that God is working through these families because the King of Kings will come from this family tree.
Social Studies - We are starting our unit on Government! Even through our trip to Lansing is not possible, we will find ways to bring this unit to life.
Kilwin's Spring Break Challenge - Kilwin’s spring break scavenger hunt can help to break up your staycation boredom. If you complete the following list during spring break, you can come in for a free kids scoop of ice cream (limit one/kid ages 12 and under). 1. Draw a picture of yourself traveling to the moon. 2. Find one fire safety tip. 3. Write down what MI city is most known for cherries. 4.Write a paragraph about your real life superhero. 5. Write down your favorite Kilwins sweet treat. To claim the prize, you must have a parents signature and show us at least two things you’ve completed. Good Luck!”

I value your partnership and are eager to spend time in prayer and conversation around the growth of your child.

National Parks Free Pass for 4th Graders - As a 4th grader, your child is able to receive a free pass for all national parks, good until the end of August this year. It is an $80 pass otherwise, so this is quite a benefit! Plan your vacations around the national parks this summer! Follow this link to get yours: https://everykidoutdoors.gov/index.htm
