What are we learning:

Writing - Learning how to create strong reasons and provide evidence for our literary essays
Bible - Learning about the different ways the Israelites worshipped God in the wilderness (Tabernacle, Festivals, laws, offerings).
Science - Starting to learn about the History of Michigan

TULIP TIME: THE TULIPS ARE COMING!! The special week is just around the corner. Here is what you need to know...

- 3rd graders will be participating in the Thursday afternoon parade (May 12)

- Your child will either come to school with their dutch costume or their "gardener" clothes. (overalls, pants, shorts, gardening gloves, sun hat, Walk-a-thon t-shirt, etc.)

- We will have school in the morning, eat a packed lunch at school, and ride over to the parade together as a class.

- I will be "parent" to your kiddos. We will wait for the parade to start (2:00 parade) and walk through the parade together as a class.

- YOUR JOB is to come and get them...at the end of the parade route (fire station by Kollen Park).  

- In May, I will ask you for two things in preparation... your phone number and who will be picking up your child at the end of the parade.

If you have any concerns, questions, or wonderings...please send me an email or shoot me a text. I communicate more as the time gets closer! This is such a fun opportunity for the kids and I am excited to participate after a 2 year break :)

CLASSROOM NEEDS: We are low on Clorox/Disinfectant Wipes. If you have room on your grocery budget for a tub of wipes...we would greatly appreciate it :)

EGG CARTONS: Does your family like eggs? If so, I would love to collect your empty egg cartons. We are going to do some creating and I am in need of the non-Styrofoam egg cartons. Please send them in by May 5. THANK YOU!
