As we get closer to the end of the year there are many important dates coming up:
April 23 (next Tuesday) – We have been talking about research during our library time. Next week we will use books and a computer database to do research on a farm animal of our choosing. We could use a few parent volunteers to help us during this time (2:00 – 2:45pm) If you are interested please email me.
April 24 (next Wednesday) – This is our trip to see The Little Engine that Could at the Aquinas College Performing Arts Center. We will leave by bus at 12pm. If your child comes for the afternoon only please be sure to be here by then.
April 29 – Trip to Calvin Woods. I could still use another parent chaperone. We leave at 12:30 and will return around 2:30.
May 2 – This is an early dismissal day (1:30pm). It is also the day of our Spring Program. This will be held at Grand Rapids Christian High School at 7pm. Each grade level has a special part in the program as well as whole school songs that we will share. More information about this will come home in purple folders next week.
May 29 – A reminder about our all day field trip to the Critter Barn (8:45 – 2:45). We would love for every child to have an adult with them to share this special day. Children will go by bus and adults will carpool – parking space at the Critter Barn is very limited.

In Math we learned about “Math Mountains.” These mountains will help us as we do more and more addition problems. Ask your child if they can share the “montaña matematica” story with you at home.
In Language Arts our sight words were “ella” and “todos.” We have been working a lot on writing in our journals. We know to sound out unknown words and write down their sounds and syllables if we are not sure how to spell them.
In Bible we heard about how the holy spirit came to the disciples on Pentecost and helped them as they built the early church.
In Science we have been studying caterpillars. Each child has their own caterpillar and we are watching eagerly to see when they will make their chrysalises.
