Well, that was a short week! I don't have many details to add to our recent blog post other than a few end-of-semester dates and assessments to keep on our radar:
Monday, January 10-Friday, January 21: Winter MAP testing window
Friday, January 14: End of our first semester
Friday, January 21: Digital report cards will go live with a power announcement
Week of January 24: Mid-year running record assessments reported on data sheets and data meetings commence
Discovery Day
On Tuesday, January 18 we have families scheduled throughout the day to tour and see our Forest in action. Keep on keeping on when you see me staring at you with guests. We're trying this approach to our January Discovery Day rather than the evening presentation. I'm open to your feedback afterward!
Collaboration Days
Tulip Time Choices
In 2018, Tulip Time reframed their mission statement to read “Mission Statement: To celebrate Holland’s tulips, Dutch heritage and community.” To better align ourselves with their mission statement as well as with the goals here at Holland Christian our Rose Park and Forest School students will be given two options for dressing up and walking in the the 2022 Kinderparade. More details will be forthcoming as we get closer to Tulip Time but we want you to be aware of the options well in advance of the Tulip Time season. Our students from Rose Park and Forest School will be given the option of walking in either our new “tulip” section of the parade or our “Dutch heritage” section. The whole of our two groups walking together will be a celebration of our “community”.
- If your first through fourth grade student chooses to opt into the “tulip” section of our parade, your child will design and construct his or her own tulip to carry and then dress as a gardener based around our "Rooted" t-shirt. This gardener costume might include gardening boots and gloves, overalls, a wide-brimmed hat, etc. Anything you have handy at home that helps your child look like a busy gardener tilling the tulips will fit the part perfectly!
- Students who opt into the “Dutch heritage” portion of our student body will wear their own dutch costume and carry the parade props our students have carried in the past.
All of our students from Rose Park and Forest School will be walking together as one big community in the aforementioned subsets. More details about logistics, costumes and timing will be coming soon. Don’t hesitate to email Miska with questions or wonderings at mrynsburger@hollandchristian.org
