Dear Parents,
Hi! We had such a fun time today on our field
trip. Thank you to all parents who were
able to go. I have to tell you, that I
really appreciate the maturity and the politeness of our children. They represented Jesus and Timothy Lutheran
SO well! The play was beautiful, the
characters and actors were amazing, and some of the content was very
mature. Our kiddos were prepared for it,
though, as we knew and loved the book.
Needless to say, I was proud of them.
Thank you again, as I have said so many times, for sharing them with
me. Being their teacher is so much fun,
and such a privilege!
We
also enjoyed having moms here this week for Morning With Mom. Thank you all for coming! It was great visiting with you.
We had SO many sick kids this week! My prayer is that this beautiful weekend
brings some healing and fresh air…

In Religion
this week, we talked about God’s power, grace, and glory. We discussed kings, and what makes a good
king…and what made Jesus the BEST king! Memory
for next week:
February 10-For by grace you have been saved through faith…It is
the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

You, my Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have
kept me this night from all harm and danger;

money. Please keep practicing those math
facts!
During Social
Studies we talked about what a coast,
peninsula, and island are. We discussed renewable and nonrenewable
resources. We will test over these
terms and all terms in Unit 1 on Wednesday.
We will practice in class by playing S. S. Jeopardy. This will come home for you (via email) to
practice on Monday. Thank you!
