Hey Everyone!  Going to the football game tonight? If so, it’s Homecoming for the Hudsonville Eagles, as well as a fundraiser for the Hudsonville Education Foundation!  You can dunk your favorite teacher and participate in other really fun pre-game activities!  So hope to see you there!

We have had another great week, families!  My fourth graders have landed on “Outstanding” at least twice this week! Won’t be long and we will have a class celebration for earning our “10 Tallies”!

In math, we have been working FEVERISHLY on subtracting multi-digit numbers up into the 10 thousands and 100 thousands.  We do have a couple of students who are still struggling with understanding when to “ungroup” (borrow from) the next number over, especially when there are zeros involved.  Parents, you would be a blessing to me if you would just double check with your student to see if they have the concept or not.  Just throw a few problems down on paper and see if they can do them.  If they can’t, I would love it if you would try to explain it to them and have them practice a bit.  Sometimes hearing it two or three times can help them finally turn that “lightbulb” on.  Thanks!

Hope you have a great weekend!  And as we sing in our song hear at school, “Mrs. Q’s kids are made of gold!”
