Dear Parents,

Hello!  7 days of school left! This is crazy!  We have been having tons of fun here in the 4th grade!  There are SO MANY upcoming events, so please take the time to read about them below.  Thank you! 

*Today was Fun Day, and there was a lot of fun happening around here!  THANK YOU to all of our amazing volunteers!  It was a great day!

*Tonight is our Activities Banquet!  If your child participated in any or our extra-curricular activities (volleyball, soccer, basketball, track, cross-country, academic team)here at Timothy, please come tonight!  We will celebrate them with an award, some kind words, and cheesecake.  J  7:00, here at Timothy. 

*Next week, we’ll have a celebration of sorts for all the hard work students have put in this year - Tim-Olympics!!  For those of you new to this event, it’s a ton of fun!  I collaborate with Mrs. Barber and Mrs. Barnett (the three Mrs. B’s) to create three different teams made up of 4th-8th grade students.  Students then “compete” in various activities that either highlight academics, coordination, creativity, or sheer luck.  Every “event” is awarded points, and then, after our closing chapel on May 22, we will hold our medal ceremony.

*Next week, we will have Religion class, a bit of English, a bit of Science, and the culmination of our Missouri History.  The learning isn’t stopping!  ;)

*Please Remember:
You are invited to our….Famous Missourian Living Museum
When?  This upcoming Wednesday, May 16th, 9:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m.
Where?  Timothy Lutheran Ministries: 4-G’s Area
Why?  The 4th grade class has been studying Missouri history and we want to share some of our knowledge with you!
There is no need to R.S.V.P.  Please just come by at your convenience.  The entire museum will take about 20 minutes to go through and to see all of the exhibits.  Thank you!

*OUR WHOLE CLASS (full-time) HAS EARNED THEIR TRIP TO WINSTEAD’S THIS YEAR!  I am SO very proud!  We have had some hard workers in here, as they have ALL memorized their multiplication facts!  It has been a very long time since I have taken a whole class!  Some third graders that have passed are going to join us too!  We will be heading to Winstead’s on north 7 Highway in Blue Springs, after school on Wednesday, May 16th, at 3:45.  There, the class will be treated with skyscraper sodas or shakes.  We will be finished up at 5:00.  You can pick your child up there, or transport them there.  Please let me know!  I have room in my car for four, and Mrs. Krekel and Mrs. Barnett have so graciously offered to help drive as well.  It will be fun! 

*…and… next Thursday…
We are going to visit Fort Osage and the Harry S. Truman Library on Thursday, May 17th!  We will leave school at 9:15 and head to Fort Osage first.  (107 Osage Street, Sibley, MO 64088) We will have a guided tour there.  Students and adults are $4.00 each.  This will last about an hour and a half.  We will then head over to McCoy Park, (across the street from the Truman Library in Independence), have a sack lunch, and play for a bit.  :)  Afterwards, we will go to the Truman Library (500 W US Hwy 24, Independence, MO 64050) for our tour at 1:00.  We were able to receive a scholarship for this, so the students are free.  Adults are $8.00.  Our tour is from 1:00-3:00, and then we will head back to school for dismissal!  We will need drivers for this event, so if you can, please sign-up below.  What a fun day! 

In a nutshell:
Students: $4.00 and a sack lunch
Parents: $12.00 and a sack lunch
Thank you so much!

*Next Friday, May 18, is also our Preschool and 8th Grade Graduation service at 7:00 p.m.   ALL students will be singing.  More details will come home next week pertaining to when kids need to arrive, etc.  We hope to see all kids there!

*Tuesday, May 22 is our LAST DAY with a 1:00 dismissal.  We will have our closing chapel that morning - you’re more than welcome to come!!  Students will come home with report cards, too!
