Week of June 24th

Dear Parents,

  We have a very busy week with a lot of extra activities going. So please read the entire post. 

Showcase: The school wide showcase will be on Monday, June 24^th at 6:00 pm at the Community Reformed Church. We will be going there on Monday afternoon to practice.  Pick up that afternoon will be at Community Reformed Church at 3:30pm.  Please refer to the email from Leisa Lobbezoo for more details. 

Swimming: Also, as in years past we will again be heading to Cityside Pool for an afternoon of swimming on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26TH. Please have students bring swimsuits and towels to school that day. Lifejackets will be available to our friends who need one. Please simply let me know if your child will need one. Our parent volunteers will be driving our students from the field trip to Cityside.  The cost for the swim will be $2 because we will not be taking the bus.  Pick up that afternoon will be at Cityside Middle School in downtown Zeeland at 3:30pm.

Field Trip: Just a reminder that we will be going on a field trip to the Outdoor Discovery Learning Center on Wednesday, June 26 from 1:00-2:30pm.  Rather than being dropped off back at Innocademy, we will arrive at Cityside in order to participate in Innocademy's swim day!  Pick up that afternoon will be at Cityside Middle School in downtown Zeeland at 3:30pm.

This field trip will support what we are currently learning about in Science: animal habitats and characteristics.  The cost will be $5 per student.  Please let us know if you need assistance in providing the $5.  Also, we wanted to thank those parents who have signed up to help drive!  We really appreciate it! We ask that if you are driving could you please arrive to school by 12:25. 

In writing we began talking about how we hear the music when we are reading and writing poems.

 In math we finished up talking about length, weight and capacity and some of us began to take the final math test while others will finish it up this week.

 In reading we continued learning strategies that we use when we come to a word we don’t know.  Your children have been introduced to strategies such as Eagle Eye, Stretchy Snake, Lips The Fish and some learned about Chunk Monkey.  Ask your children what these beanie babies help them to remember to do.
