Go Eagles Go!! From Mrs. Bretz

Whether you cheer for Michigan, Michigan State or Notre Dame, one thing we ALL cheer for is
HUDSONVILLE!!!

This week, 4th and 5th grade are studying anthems.
We began by playing a name-that-tune game of favorite college fight songs (even though some student fans insisted their ears were bleeding when we played the rival college song!!  To make it fair, I DID play both Michigan and Michigan State!!)

Then we all cheered together and learned the words to our very own Hudsonville Fight Song!
If you don’t know it, ask your child to teach it to you!

HUDSONVILLE FIGHT SONG

Go Hudsie High School
Plunge right through that line
With your colors flying,
we will cheer you all the time!  RAH RAH RAH

Go Hudsie High School
Fight for victory
Spread far the fame of our fair name
and GO YOU EAGLES win this game! 

We are continuing our discussion of anthems by celebrating the anniversary of the “Star Spangled Banner.”  We have learned a mini history lesson of how it was written and have played a few games to help us learn the words.  Go team USA!

Book Bags are coming home tonight :)

My wonderful 4th grade students learned today how we will be using our reading logs during the school year. Today they received a book bag and reading log. Every day they will be bringing home their book bag. Inside the bag will be their book and reading log. They will be reading the same book at school and at home.

Tonight, please have your 4th grader show you their book bag/reading log and explain what they need to fill in each time they read both at school and at home. It is the students’ responsibility to carry these materials to and from school every day.

Research shows the more reading the students do…the stronger readers they will become. The reading logs are a way for the students to see if they are using their reading time effectively; by keeping track of the amount of pages read in a certain time period.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Happy Reading! :)
