Miscellaneous:

• A sack lunch note will be coming home for the students that want to order a sack lunch for Field Day.  Field Day is Tuesday, June 4th.
• Look for a camp pick-up note to come home on Monday.  Remember camp is from Wednesday, May 22 to Friday, May 24.  We want the kids to come to school after all the other students have arrived and made it to their classroom; so make arrangements to drop your child off in the turnaround of the school on this day.  Pick-up will be about 2:00 on Friday.
• Hudsonville Field Day T-Shirt forms are due May 17th.  Students should have received the red forms this week from the PE teachers.
• 5th Grade Celebration is May 29th. Follow the links and check out the earlier blog post for more information.

Science: We are headfirst into our unit on Force and Motion. We have worked on defining, describing, and graphing motion. We have also worked on measuring speed by doing data collecting experiments with the use of tape measures and stopwatches.

ELA: This week our kids will begin their rough draft based on the research they have done in Social Studies.  Each student will write an opinion piece from the point of view of either a pre-revolutionary Patriot or Loyalist.

Math: In math, we have started our unit on metric conversions and understanding volume by studying cubes and prisms.

Social Studies: This week we wrapped up our research using primary and secondary history sources describing the major events that lead up to the Revolutionary War. We will wrap up our study of history this school year discussing the Revolutionary War.
