Dear Parents,
This
has been a fun week! We have kept busy,
and have been working hard!
*THANK YOU to Aimee Hirsch who accompanied us to the ECC’s Flower
Power party. We had fun being the
“big kids” and helping our preschool friends have fun. 4th graders were great Christian
examples, and I was SO very proud! :)

*Harvesters Update: We collected 736 pounds of food for
Harvesters, providing 614 meals for families in our region. Way to go, Rams!
Our 3-4 Graders (homeschool, too!) go to Harvesters NEXT
THURSDAY, April 5th! If your child is
NOT going, please let me know as soon as possible so we can allocate volunteers
and driving assignments appropriately. We also have a few too many drivers, which never seems to happen. They are very strict on their numbers, and we
can only take 28 people. Right now, we
have 30 going. If you would mind not going, please let me know. Thank you, and I am sorry about this. We will be leaving school at 9:15. We will return to school around 12:30. Students should pack a sack lunch, as they
will quickly eat in their classrooms before resuming their afternoon of
classes.
The following are important things you need to know about
volunteering with Harvesters:
• Children
under the age of 8 are not permitted in the warehouse for safety reasons.
• Closed
toed shoes are required.
• Dress
casually (jeans and t-shirts, and sweatshirts to layer in the winter)
• Please
leave all valuable jewelry at home. This includes rings which may come off in
the packing process.
• No food,
gum, or drinks are permitted in the warehouse.
• Cell
phone usage is not permitted in the warehouse.
• All
volunteers must be free of contagious illness (runny nose, colds, the flu,
strep throat, etc.)
Parking is limited so please carpool. Visitor parking is
available in front of the building and in an overflow lot across the street. If
spots fill, please limit street parking to the east side (closest to the
building) so semi-trucks can safely access our facility. Please enter through
the Volunteer Entrance (under the red awning).
*Our musical, The Rock Slinger and His Greatest Hit, is
here, Friday, April 13th at 6:30.
Our band students will also have their very first performance, so it
will be an exciting night! You won’t
want to miss it! Please let me know if your
child will be unable to attend. We have
been practicing SO hard, and have been working on costumes, etc., so we will
need to know. Thank you so much for your
help!
*Trivia Night is Friday, April 20, 2018 at 8 P.M.
here at Timothy! It’s 80’s night! (I am getting old, but OH…Weren’t the 80’s
fun?!?!) Please come and join the fun,
and reserve your table now!
Here is what else we have been up to:
Religion: We have been talking about Jesus calming
the storm, and working right alongside His disciples to share the news of
Him! We also discussed with Pastor Rich
in Chapel yesterday about how God is the only One who creates—makes something out of nothing. He created
us in His image, and sent Jesus to die and save us from our sins…defeating the
devil, and then rising again on Easter FOR US!
Language Arts: We gave our book reports today, and
did a GREAT job! We have been reading Invisible
Stanley, and will test over this story next Friday.
Math-We learned how to subtract like fractions, put
them in simplest form, and solve word problems with fractions.
Missouri History-We began chapter 4—The Statehood of
Missouri. We discussed farming, other early jobs, and modes of
transportation. We will learn about the
Civil War next week! We will also begin
our School of Economics discussions!
This week in…
Art-We made butterflies with napkins, water colors,
clothes pins and pipe cleaners. They are
hanging in the room, and are beautiful!
Please pop in and see them!
Writing-We reviewed the steps to creating paragraphs,
and wrote several on our own and shared them!
P.E.-We are doing yoga in the classroom!
Music-We practiced the music, songs, and lyrics for
the musical.
Have a Blessed Easter!
Christ is Risen—He is Risen Indeed!
Alleluia!
Blessings,
Kim
