CREATE!

It's here and it's in action! Kid Town "creating" has been a hit this week! It's been so fun to see the students use their God-given gifts and talents to make and create things. What imaginations they have! We've been working hard to create things for the "Trash for Cash" store, handing in homework to receive money, and today the students even had the opportunity to tithe from their own wallets! We are once again reminded why this is such a great couple of weeks in our Christ-centered school! It is such a neat teaching experience!

HOMEWORK:

A new packet of special Kid Town homework is coming home today. NOTE THAT ALL KID TOWN HOMEWORK IS OPTIONAL, but will be a big part of your child's "income." It will work the same as last week SO PLEASE SAVE THE BIBLE MEMORY PAGE (new verses are on the back). Bible memory verses will stop after Tuesday and your child will only need to hand in the reading/math half sheets.


Monday Homework folders will come home with the next 3 words on our blue half sheet. Keep working on these!

Keep working on Acts 2.


Jungle Explorer:
Jonathan was our special Jungle Explorer of the Week! Thanks for sharing your poster and pictures with our class. We enjoyed getting to know you and learning that you are good at baseball. We love that you want to be a baseball player when you grow up! Your favorite place is Tennessee and your favorite food is eggs. You are so special to God and to us, Jonathan, it was great getting to know more about you this week!

KID TOWN:

The BIG week has arrived! Next week we will have our town set up in the gym! This town will come alive from 12:30-1:30 each day. Please know that even if you didn't sign up to help, you are all welcome any day during the week to stop by and check it out between 12:30-1:30pm! :)


CLEAN UP!!:

I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE any and all help on the final Friday of Kid Town, May 2, right after school to help clean up Kid Town. Any parents that can come and lend a hand would be SO appreciated! This is such a big project, and by the end of the week we are so grateful for extra helping hands! Please mark your calendars! :)


Tulip Time:

If you have chosen to be in the “Dutch Heritage” section, remember that you’ll need to wear a Dutch costume. If you chose the “Tulip” section for the parade, you will want to make sure that you have your Holland Christian Walk-a-thon t-shirt ready to go. Wednesday, May 7 will be a full day for all students due to Tulip Time removing the Wednesday parade. On Thursday, May 8, school will be dismissed for kindergarteners at 11:30am. 1st and 2nd graders will remain at school, eat a sack lunch from home, have recess, change into their apparel (if they choose not to wear it to school that day), and be bused to the parade route. More information will come as we get closer to the parade.

Happy Friday! What a fantastic week we have had in second grade! Kid Town has been a success and the students have enjoyed it immensely! We have seen wonderful examples of generous spirits and students who are polite and caring business boys/girls, and they have also been wonderful shoppers with a lot of patience. They have had a ton of fun learning about businesses and economics! Thanks so much to all the parent helpers who came in and were a banker so kids could get paid, glued items together, helped with ideas, ran stores, and helped us pack things up!!
