Dear Parents,
We have had another great
week! Here are a few reminders about
upcoming events:
- Enrollment
forms have been issued to all current students. Enrollment will open
up to new families soon. Please send your forms back in as soon as
possible to reserve your spot for next year.
- For
Trivia Night, our class is sponsoring a STL Cardinals basket. We are
still taking items at any time up until April 10th.
Please sign-up for Trivia Night too!
Get your table now!
Information is outside the school office.
- This
Saturday, March 21st, Timothy Lutheran School has been invited
to take place in a special choir and worship event with the Chamber Choir
from Trinity Lutheran church in Lisle, IL. They have invited us to
participate in their worship and a concert here at Timothy—the North
Campus. A note went home this week about it. It is from
3:30-6:00, and then Saturday evening worship at 6:00. Please let
Mrs. Mundt or myself know TODAY if your child is going to be able to
come. Hope you can make it!
·
Our students are going to be going to Harvester’s in April!
We need lots of drivers and parents to help when we’re there. If
you are interested, check out this link.

This Wednesday, our students learned about our last mission
project of the year—Passion Link! Notes
came home with your child on Wednesday.
Your child will bring in coins for his or her Chapel family, and totals
will be calculated each week. The
winning family each week will receive a fun prize! Our goal is to raise $800! Here is the fun strategy, though: Chapel families may place dollar bills of any
amount in other Chapel Families’ containers in which the dollar amount will be
subtracted from their coin amount! This
makes this so much fun… The game has begun!
Here’s what we have been up
to:
In Religion this week we talked about Daniel and the lions, and how he prayed when
he was afraid. We discussed how God
delivers us from evil all the time too!
Memory for next
week:
March 24-The
Apostle's Creed
I believe
in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in
Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of
the Virgin Mary,
suffered
under Pontius Pilate,
March
27--was crucified, died, and was buried.
He
descended into hell.
The third
day He rose again from the dead.
He
ascended into heaven
and sits
at the right hand of God
the
Father Almighty.
Language Arts: 3rd graders read,
Two Bad Ants,” and 4th graders read “The World According to
Humphrey.” Both stories were written
from the viewpoint of the insect or animal.
Very interesting! We also learned about antonyms, synonyms, and
homonyms this week. In cursive this
week, we learned u, v, w, and x. We continued with Book Clubs this week, and
took on new, fun roles!

Math was fun again
this week, as we learned as a whole class!
We studied, polygons, lines, and circles, triangles, quadrilaterals,
congruent shapes, lines of symmetry... On St. Patrick’s Day, we took a break
and categorized and graphed Lucky Charms.
J Yum! We also are working whole-heartedly on our
multiplication facts! We have a few kids
that are ready to take the Winstead’s mad minute next week! Yippee!
Please encourage your child to practice math facts with computer games,
flash cards, or just by reciting them.
We discuss all the time the importance of memorizing them. Fourth grade can testify that once we get up
into long division, it is necessary!!!
I will be taking all kids that have memorized theirs to Winstead’s in
May for Skyscraper sundaes!
We began Social Studies again this week. Our unit is focusing in on Native American
communities of the past.
Here is what we
did during Specials this week:
Art-we
continued on our self-portraits of what we want to be when we grow up… We began
painting! Music-we practiced our recorders and had Recorder
Karate sessions. The children are really starting to sound beautiful!
P.E.-We
learned a game called “Sun Ball.” Lots
of fun!
Writing-We
continued on our autobiographical sketches. Many of us are already at the
publishing step. These will be combined
in a book that will be copied for each child.
J We also wrote short stories about a
mischievous leprechaun…He sure was up to no good!
Spanish-We
are getting ready for Cinco de Mayo…Please remember to send shoes with your
child on Thursdays if needed.
