Badger Babble Update
WEEKLY BABBLE - It was a busy week for the fifth graders. Students put their final touches on their Science Fair projects, memorized their mystery state and capitals for the week, continued with fractions in Math class, started on the second article for Memory Work, and reviewed Adjectives in Grammar class. There was no Badger Day due to Mrs. Baker being gone on Friday. Students enjoyed Small Group on Friday afternoon where they wrote letters to missionaries. Congratulations to Jack who was the DARE report winner for his class. Students will graduate from the DARE program this Tuesday afternoon.
MYSTERY STATE - New to fourth quarter is Mystery State. Each day students are responsible for guessing the mystery state(s) based on a sheet of clues that is on their desk in the morning. After lunch, the mystery state(s) is/are announced. Students will locate the mystery state(s) on their official US Map and then go over its capital city. Then the students will watch a short video about the state (s)and discuss facts about the state. At the end of the week, the students will take a quiz on all the mystery states for that week. We are now several weeks into Mystery State and students are doing quite well!
DECADE PROJECT - All fifth grade students researched a decade of their choice and created a special poster along with a presentation for Grandfriends' Day on March 22. Unfortunately, due to weather, GSLS had to cancel Grandfriends' Day. However, the students still did their presentations and did a great job. Please check out the photos of this project by clicking HERE. Students will present their decade presentations again for our rescheduled Grandfriends' Day on Friday, May 3.
HOMEWORK HELP - Mrs. Baker's offering a Homework Help time after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 4:00 pm. If your child is interested in participating, please email and let us know. This is a time to strictly work on homework and ask questions about subjects not understood. If your child would like to bring a snack, they are welcome to.
FOURTH QUARTER OFFERING - GSLS 's fourth quarter offering goes to Safe Families. Safe Families for Children seeks to keep children safe and families together. Safe Families for Children is rooted in faith, fueled by radical hospitality, disruptive generosity, and intentional compassion, to build a network of caring and compassionate volunteers to support families facing social isolation. Our goals are to prevent child abuse and neglect, reduce the number of children entering the child welfare system, and support and stabilize families. Please remember your offering each Wednesday.
BADGER DAY - Each Friday we celebrate Badger Day. This is always a fun Friday for the students. We introduced our newest hero, Hezekiah. Students are excited to learn more about this Bible hero. We are watching the movie I Can Only Imagine, a real life story based on Mercy Me's 2001 Christian rock ballad, this faith-based drama follows the emotional life story of the song's composer, Bart Millard.

MEMORY WORK AND SPELLING WORDS - Memory work will be on Wednesdays and Fridays, and your child's spelling test will be on Friday. Your child should have their spelling word list in their binder as well as their memory work for the week.
