Hello, 3rd/4th grade families! Another week has sped by! Can you believe it?!
I hope this week has been a wonderful one for you—filled
with the God’s Blessings!
We have been busy, busy around here!
Here is what we have been up to:
Religion-This week we really focused on perfecting our
Chapel message. Didn’t the kiddos do a
great job? (Thanks for coming to worship
with us!) I loved how Moses was able to
portray to the kids, through examples, what the 2nd commandment is,
and how to apply it to our lives. This
week in class, we discussed the story of Mary and Martha. We talked about ways that we all are like
both of them at times, and how we need to strive to be more like Mary in the
story—ready to listen to Jesus!
Memory for next week:
(We are learning the books of the Old Testament!)
September 20-
Jonah
Micah
Nahum
Habakkuk
Zephaniah
Haggai
Zechariah
Malachi
September 23-Recite all of the OT books
Language Arts- The third graders read “Destiny’s Gift,” and
we talked a lot about character, and how to make other feel loved and
appreciated. Fourth graders read “The
Power of W.O.W.”, and then will put on the skit for the rest of the class. They have been busy planning this and working
together! We also reviewed the
differences between sentences and questions.
Math- Third graders finished up reviewing chapter 1 and took
their tests. These will come home on
Monday. Yesterday, we began chapter 2,
and have learned about the addition properties and are reviewing odd and even
numbers. Most of this chapter is review
and we will zoom through it, I am sure! Fourth graders are working on
estimating and adding whole numbers, as well as reviewing those addition properties. We are also focusing on number sense.
Social Studies- As you’ve probably heard, we have been
working on School of Economics! CONGRATULATIONS
to our new mayor, Hailey Schuster!!
Students each got to vote for mayor this past Monday, and it was a
well-run race! We received our jobs this
week, began meeting in shops, creating signs, nametags, and working on
passports. Today we made out our shop
supply lists, and took out a loan application.
Next week, we will talk about supply and demand and price our
items. J It is all so exciting!
P.E.- This week in P.E., we continued to practice volleyball
serving, and began game situations.
Music- We have begun learning a new “Books of the Bible”
song, which is really helping with our memory work! We are reviewing beats, using rhythm sticks,
and practicing our upcoming song for church, as well. We are learning SO much! Please don’t forget that 3rd grade
sings September 25th in church.
(North Campus) 8:30 and 9:45 am… a note from Mrs. Pennington went home
earlier this week. Please look for it in
folders!
Writers’ Workshop- This week, we finished our 'I Poems"
and began publishing them... We also
continued on stories. Next week we will
begin to write personal narratives. We
will read several samples, and then begin the drafting process of our
experiences. We will work on these for the
next few weeks, going through the writing process.
Computers- 3rd and 4th grades practiced logging into Google
Drive and creating documents. Then they
were able to cast their vote for President (and prove they were not a robot! Ask your kiddo about this one!)
Art- We learned the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors
this week! We created color wheels,
using only primary colors to mix all of the rest of them. Next week, we will use this mixing skill to
first draw, and then paint hot air balloons.

Points of Interest:
*If you would like to help generate money to put toward School
of Economics, please sign up to work a home volleyball game! http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c4dadab2da7f58-home
*We have our first school wide mission project! River Roads Lutheran School has been “Sharing
the Caring Christ” for 146 years in St. Louis. Unfortunately, due to the
economic challenges and lack of funding, River Roads is faced with the
possibility of closing their doors. Timothy Lutheran School has chosen to make
this our first Mission Project of the year. We are determined to raise a
minimum of $500 by September 28, to offset some of their expenses. The
collection can is located on the trophy case outside of the office. Right now
we have gathered a little over $150.00. We
hope and pray that your family is moved by the Spirit to help them, so they can
continue to develop young Christian leaders of today and tomorrow! Thanks in
advance for your generosity.
*When 5/6 Grade heads to meet with their Early Childhood
Center pen pals throughout the year, they’ll be spending some time doing
mission projects with their younger friends.
In September, they are collecting books (new or gently used) for when
our church congregation serves dinner at the Welcome Inn. If you have any children’s or teen books at
your home that you no longer use and would like to donate, we’d love them! We’re hoping we’ll be able to give these less
fortunate kids a TON of really great books!
Thank you in advance for your generosity!!
*This weekend is the Fall Fun Fest!! If you're able, we'd LOVE for you and your
child to walk in the parade with us tomorrow.
The parade theme this year is “In the Spirit of America.” Our parade location is #61, so come to the
Freshman Center parking lot off Vesper.
Please be there by 9:45 a.m. rain or shine (dress accordingly). You can wear school colors or patriotic ones. According to parade guidelines, please do not
bring bikes, skates of any kind, or skate boards. Strollers and wagons are OK though. If you cannot walk with us, you can pick up
your student at the end of the parade route at St. John LaLande Catholic church
and school, on R.D. Mize Rd – between Range and 7 Hwy.
*School picture day = Monday! Order forms came home on
Wednesday. If you would like to order your pictures online, you may go ahead
and do so. The website is: www.inter-state.com/order. Our school code is
11634VA Pictures for Homeschool
students will begin promptly at 8:30, followed by the group pictures at
8:45. 1-2 parent volunteers would be
very helpful to keep things moving smoothly and at an efficient pace. Please let Mrs. Anderson know if you're able
to help.
*We are looking for someone to be our coordinator for our
yearly Trivia Night event, which will be held in April. If you would like more information contact
Mr. Kuerschner at school.
*Our Young Rembrandts program, for grades K-6, starts next Monday,
Sept. 19th.
