Dates.....

We are nearing the finish line of 3rd grade!  At this point in the year I feel like everyone's schedules are getting pretty crazy and we are simply trying to keep up.  In an effort to help you stay on top of your 3rd graders school schedule, the blog this week is a list of events that we have to finish up the year.  I have added each little detail, so grab your calendars and get some of these highlights written in.  :)

1.  End of the Year Celebration- Wednesday, May 18.  We will be walking to the High School and worshipping as an entire HC community!  Come join us!  The time is from 9-10 am.

2.  POD Service Day- Wednesday afternoon, May 18.  We will be doing a service project with our PODS this afternoon.  Mr. Howell sent home a letter about this today.  We will be participating in a service project for local organizations around Holland.

3.  Discovery Testing- I will give the Reading portion of the Discovery test on Tuesday, May 17 and the Math portion on Thursday, May 19.

4.  Final Math test- Friday May 20.  I sent home a review for this today.  The review is due on Thursday, May 19 so we can go over any areas that may still be confusing for your child.

5.  Final Bible Memory- Galatians 5:22-26 is our final memorization passage.  I sent home a copy today.  For many of the kids, this one is new to learn.  We are practicing everyday at school but any help at home is appreciated.  I will have the students say it to me on May 27 if they have not turned their slip in by that point.

6.  Sound Presentation- Tuesday, May 24.  To end our final unit in Science we will be walking over to the High School in the morning for a sound demonstration from Mr. Scott VanDenBerg.

7.  Singing at Resthaven- Thursday, June 2 from 1:30-2:00 pm.  We will go for one final visit to Resthaven on 40th Street and sing as a 3rd grade group.

8.  Field day- Tuesday, May 31 in the afternoon at Southside.

9.  Tetrahedron Kites-  May 31-June 3 in the mornings.  This is a really fun way to wrap up Math and our geometry unit.  A letter came home today on purple paper explaining the details!

Whew!  I think that is it!  If there are any questions please don't hesitate to ask.  Your children are still going strong in class and putting forth great effort.  I am so proud of these kids!

Blessings!
