Hi, Parents! I hope
this note finds you well! We have had a
fun week, with a culmination of Trivia Night tonight at 6:00 (come on out!) and
4th-8th grades singing this weekend at the 8:30 and 9:45
services. They are to meet in front of
the piano in the sanctuary at 8:20 a.m.
Things are busy, but we are so thankful for your
support! We are abundantly blessed here
at Timothy.
So, I have to write what is on my mind right now… Last night, we had our first cross-country
meet, out at Calvary Lutheran. The third
and fourth graders did so well, and represented Timothy with such good
sportsmanship and smiles. I was one
proud coach and teacher. We have some
amazing athletes too! Goodness! If you get a chance, please congratulate
Marius, Adam, Kamryn, Siarya, and Morgan H. for a job well done. (…and any of
our older kids too!)
Yearbook order forms came home this week! You may order either by sending back the form
or by going online (www.inter-state.com/yearbook and use code 11756C). Each yearbook costs $13. If writing a check, make it payable to
Timothy Lutheran School. The last day to
order is Monday, May 22.
Here is a rundown of what we have been up to this week:
Religion-We have been discussing in depth what prayer
is. We have looked at the parts of the
Lord’s Prayers, and also when Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. We have learned exactly what God’s Will is,
and how it is not always what we want or what we understand. He is omniscient and ALWAYS knows best.
Language Arts-We had fun getting into our “new”
reading books this week! We learned about
spiders, and about a man who ran across America. Both were fun stories. We also talked about the proper use of
adverbs.
Math- Third grade is working with measurement—capacity
and mass. Fourth grade is working with
decimals. Please keep on practicing
those multiplication facts! Both groups
have been working on their Winstead’s (multiplication) testing every day. Thanks for your help at home.
Science- We have been talking about the life cycles
of plants, flowering plants, conifer, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and
mammals. Today we studied flowers and
cones in an observations. We took these
items and were able to “dissect” them and then analyze and diagram what we
learned.
Art- We listened to some march music by the amazing
John Philip Sousa, and then created marching band pictures. We discussed how they are all uniform in
their movements as well as their dress.
On a personal note, I also pulled up a video of the Blue Springs marching
band (Golden Regiment), so the kids could see how they are in uniform too. (I have two daughters in that band!) That was fun for me. ;)
Music- They have been working so hard practicing
their Spanish songs, learning songs to sing in church, as well as working on
notes. I am so proud of them. Reminder:
4th-8th grades sing this weekend at the 8:30 and 9:45 services at the
north site. They are to meet in front of
the piano in the sanctuary at 8:20 a.m.
Spanish- The students are practicing away at their Cinco
de Mayo performances! Mrs. Carrasco has
asked that the kids arrive at 6:45 that evening. They will meet in their classrooms. Dads, if you can, after worship here at the
south site on April 30th, we need some of you to help clear the
stage area for Cinco de Mayo on Friday.
We will be leaving the risers, but everything else needs to be moved so
we can DANCE!
P.E.- We ran the 1/2 mile this week for time! The kids did great! I was so impressed by their stamina and how
hard they each tried. We also worked on
the running long jump.
Writing- We reviewed how to write friendly letters,
and have composed cards to our shut-ins, sharing the love of Jesus. We will mail these next week!
Computer Lab- This week, we either worked with
Writers’ Workshop, or we played educational math games that helped us with
fractions! Mrs. Stack shared these sites
with me, and they are awesome!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,
