These kids are involved in hard work and deep thought these days at school, and they are growing by leaps and bounds.  I've recently completed report cards which came home on Friday and I spent the weekend preparing notes for our conference meetings.  I'm looking forward to celebrating with you all that your child has accomplished so far this year!  We only have 8 weeks of learning left Only one quarter of the year left (but I'm not talking about that because I don't want this year to end😢).

On Friday, we spent the last hour of the day creating Marble Rollercoasters. The students paired up and worked hard in the hallway creating different tracks.

CHEPE SE BANA - This week our HC Sync students invited our student body to join them in raising funds to help bring justice to Costa Rica.  If your child has been asking you for some spare change, here are the details:

NEXT WEEK - In anticipation of Spring Break starting on Friday next week, I will not be sending home math or reading minutes homework (although I still HIGHLY recommend that kids do it anyway!😉), nor will there be any word work words next week.  We have some fun celebrations of our learning planned for next week instead (a reading celebration, some outdoor symmetry learning at the Outdoor Discovery Center, some STEM learning, a zoom field trip to the capitol in Lansing, just to name a few).

MATH TEST - We are still going to accomplish some learning this week and that includes a math test on fractions. We practiced and reviewed in the class for the past two days. We will have this test on Tuesday.  

SACK LUNCH ON THURSDAY - Please send along a sack lunch on Thursday since we will be engaging in some outdoor learning on the property at the Outdoor Discovery Center.  It sounds like it will be a bit chilly that day too, so an extra layer or two of clothing might be a good idea as well.

YEAR BOOK - If you did not have a chance to order a 2020-21 Rose Park yearbook this past fall when you ordered your child's school pictures, please follow this link to place your order.  

HAC Splash and Dash - Holland Aquatic Center is excited to announce a USA Triathlon sanctioned Splash and Dash.
