I Thank My God Every Time I Think of You...

 

Hi, 4th grade parents!  (Almost 5th grade!) Can you believe that this is it?  Goodness, the year went by SO quickly...

 We have had a FABULOUS week and A LOT of fun!  Thank you for all of the help with our field trip and for coming to our Famous Missourian Museum, and just all of the prayers and love and support.  You all are so gracious and I will miss you TONS next year!  

We were able to witness the miracle of Charlotte's Baptism today, and I am so thankful that we were able to be a part of that!  Thanks be to GOD!  ...and as in God's always ornate plan...every lesson as we finished up our Religion book this week was about Baptism and furthering the Kingdom of God, and so each lesson we were able to use Charlotte as our example.  Again, all praise to Him!  

Before I get to my sentiments, a little bit of business...

 *REPORT CARDS are coming home today in a sealed envelope.  Their year's progress on our NWEA testing results will be in there too.  It is sealed.  They will be in your child's backpack with a BUNCH of other stuff--books, art projects, papers, notebooks, art utensils, "treasures" they purchased today at our classroom auction, and a special memory book I have made for them.  I am just telling you this because I remember the last day of school as a parent too, and sometimes we did not look in that backpack until August!  ;) 

So, every year now, I share this poem that I penned the year I was teaching from home during Covid, but so much of it still rings true... You are the best and I am so thankful for you!   

THANK YOU for all of your hard work.

THANK YOU for lifting your student and their teacher up in prayer.

THANK YOU for entrusting me with your child's education.

THANK YOU for being my team player, for supporting me, us, when the going got tough. 

THANK YOU for sending your child to a Christian school where we can share about Jesus EVERY DAY.

THANK YOU for choosing Timothy, so I can call your child one of my own.

THANK YOU for being amazing role models of adults who go with the flow, yet keep your eyes set on what is Above.

THANK YOU for teaching your child to stay true to who they are, but to also remember and cherish WHOSE they are.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for sharing your child with me. It has been an absolute honor to be their teacher and to work alongside you.

God’s Blessings,

Kim

 The kids and I had a heart-to heart conversation today, as I shared the Memory Book with them, and we sang "We Are the Church," and we prayed together. I have reminded them that I will always be here for them, no matter how old and sassy and mature and cool they get. I truly mean it.

You all are loved, cherished, lifted up, and always prayed for. Please know that and ALWAYS remember it!  As I tell the kiddos, "Jesus and I love you SO much!"

Have a beautiful, blessed summer. Please keep in touch!

Blessings,

Kim
