SWIMMING LESSONS - We will continue swimming lessons this coming week, with our final day of lessons being on Thursday. Feel free to come to the pool to watch lessons, if you desire. There's a lot of swimming growth happening these two weeks so it might be fun to see the progress! Our lessons begin around 11:00 and usually wrap up about 11:45 at the Holland Aquatic Center. You may be asked to remove your street shoes as you cross the deck to get to the seating area of the instructional pool, so feel free to bring flip flops along if you don't like go barefoot.
VALENTINE EXCHANGE - On Wednesday we will be exchanging Valentines with our classmates. A pink class list came home last week so your child can be sure to create one valentine for each of their classmates. Thanks for your help with this!
WORD WORK - Your child will be receiving a new word work list on Monday as usual, but due to the days off on Friday and Monday, this list will last for two weeks, with the test being on Friday, Feb. 23.
READING AND MATH MINUTES HOMEWORK - This will continue as normal, with the one exception being that since there isn't school on Monday the 19th, students will have to turn in their homework on Tuesday instead, and the new recording sheets will also come home that same Tuesday.
Spirit Week is February 12-15:
- Monday 12th : Pajama Day.
- Tuesday 13th: Camo/Tie-Dye Day
- Wednesday 14th: Heart/Red Day
- Thursday 15th: Maroon & White Day
- Friday 16th: NO SCHOOL
Carpool: In an effort to be smooth and efficient in the carpool line, please take a look at these expectations: First, at morning drop off please pull as far forward as possible, and coach your children on exiting the car quickly, this allows us to get all students into the building and to their classrooms as soon as possible. If we can avoid adults getting out of the car this allows the line to move quickly, and we can get our school day started right at 8:15. Additionally, after school - please make sure to give the three carpool lanes the right of way. As soon as we release the carpool lanes we need to those to continue moving, avoiding stops from people walking through the parking lot or parking lot vehicles trying to exit. Once the first round of carpool is released then you may continue to exit the parking lot or cross from the sidewalk!
NO SCHOOL - Both Friday Feb. 16 and Monday Feb. 19 are days off for the students. Enjoy the extra time together!
CONFERENCES - This Spring the 4th graders will be doing student-led conferences. This will be a special time for just you, your 4th grader, and me to reflect on their growth in person (no siblings please). More details will fall into place later, but since the conference sign up email will soon come out from Holland Christian, keep that in mind as you choose your time for your conference. Please plan for an in-person conference. Thanks so much!
I love seeing their positive attitudes towards swimming lessons.
These teams successfully escaped the room in 40 minutes!
We had a fantastic afternoon at Hemlock Crossing. The sunshine and animal skulls were a highlight of the afternoon.
