Hello, Parents! We
are well into our third quarter of school now!
Report cards came home with your child this past Wednesday. Please make sure you let me know if you have
any questions. Students can continue to
correct papers and turn them in for half credit, only if they are below an
“A.” There is a bunch of graded work
coming home, so please ask your child if it was from this week (the first week
of 3rd quarter) or from 2nd quarter before they take the
time to correct it. Thank you!
There is no school next Monday for MLK Day! We will not have classes – see you on
Tuesday! Next week, we will be learning
all about him!
Lutheran Schools Week is coming up, and Mrs. Anderson sent
home a flier of information on what’s happening this week. Included in the packet was information on
when students should arrive for singing on Sundays + Grandparents Day
info/RSVP. The RSVP needs to come back
to us by next Friday. Here is a very
basic run-down of that flier (but please reread your fliers for more
specifics!):

• Monday,
Jan. 25 – Dress as your favorite movie character

Now that we’re in 2016, we start thinking ahead to next
school year. In just a bit,
re-enrollment packets will be coming home with your child. This is always a good opportunity to get word
out to friends and families who are looking for a new school home, too. We would love to expand our Timothy family!
Memory for the next few weeks has changed, as we have a few
songs that we are having trouble learning for NLSW. Please see below:
New Memory Work for the Weeks of January 18th and 25th
We will continue learning the Lord’s Prayer after Lutheran
Schools Week.
January 19- His oath,
His covenant, His blood, Support me in the whelming flood; When all around my
soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.
January 22- When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I
then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand
before the throne.
January 26- Jesus is the Cornerstone, Came for sinners to
atone; though rejected by His own, He became the Cornerstone-Jesus is the
Cornerstone.
When I am by sin oppressed, On the stone I am at rest, Where
the seeds of truth are sown, He remains the Cornerstone, Jesus is the
Cornerstone.
February 2- For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the
glory forever and ever. Amen.
February 5- Be able to say the entire Lord’s Prayer.
(The rest of the year will remain the same. Thank you!)
Here is a rundown on our week:
Religion-We learned about Samson, and talked about repentance
and forgiveness.
Language Arts- We began cursive this week, by learning the
letter “a.” We will continue with it
next week, as it was a challenge for some.
Third graders read a story entitled “Aero and Officer Mike,” and fourth
graders read an informative story called, “The Life and Times of the Ant.”
Math-We are doing well on mad minutes! Keep studying those facts! J Third grade learned how to divide and fourth
grade learned how to do long multiplication.
Both groups completed simple forms of algebra. They are doing great!
Science-We met with Mrs. Stack one-on-one, or with our
partners and completed our ideas for our projects. Many of us have already started working on hypotheses. I would recommend that your child plan to
start working on their project very soon and/or finalize plans to meet with a
partner, if they have one. We also
completed the first lesson in our Science chapter, and have made vocabulary
cards. These will aide in studying for
our test in the upcoming weeks. I will
let you know soon when that will be!
Social Studies-We are up on Current Events with the help of
our Scholastic News. You will see these
coming home. It is a fun way to talk
about the news with your child.
Art-We created beautiful water-colored snowflakes!
Writers’ Workshop/Computer-We completed persuasive essays,
and will begin a poetry project next week.
Music-We are learning about Back and practicing music for
LSW, as well as for Rev. Otte’s installation service. The children sound beautiful!
P.E.-This week, we learned how to shoot layups, and then we enjoyed
the beautiful weather that we had outside on Thursday.
