Happy Friday!


Hi, Parents!  We are back into the swing of things! 

Highlights from this week and important info:
*We hosted Chapel on Wednesday!  Our lesson was about heaven, and how God is and always will be eternal.  He is also omnipresent…present with us ALL the time.  We only had a day to prepare, and had a couple of kiddos absent, but the Spirit led us, and our message came across!  Thank you for your prayers!









*Yesterday, we visited the School of Economics, and had such a fun time!  We made new friends from Daniel Young Elementary, witnessed many new things, and really learned some life lessons!  I LOVED how I witnessed the kids coming together as teams, and working SO hard to pay off their loans!  I witnessed AMAZING teamwork, dedication, helping each other out, and Jesus really did shine through us!   It was also fun to work alongside Miss Vogt, Mrs. Vogt’s daughter.  She’s such a good teacher, like her mama.  J  It was such a fun day!  THANK YOU to all of our wonderful parent volunteers, who gave of their time.  I know you were exhausted!  Thank you!  
































*Midterms are coming home today!  Please sign and return the bottom portion next week.  Thank you!

*Timothy Lutheran School’s Christmas musical, A Stranger in the Manger,” is coming up on December 14th at 7:00.  Please have your child here by 6:30 in their classroom.  They are supposed to wear nice church clothes.  Thank you! 

*Instead of exchanging classroom Christmas gifts with one another, our class has chosen to help a child in need.  We chose a tag off our Angel Tree in the lobby, and this one is an 11 year old girl who would love to get a new bicycle.  J  If you choose, and can, please send in a few dollars toward that gift card. I have urged the kids to pray about this!  They are all excited about GIVING!   Thank you so much for your help in this process!    

Here is what we have been up to in the classroom:
Religion-We discussed Samson, and how God chose him as judge.  We also talked about God’s plan, and how God desires to save ALL people, and He worked His plan of salvation through the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus.  
Memory next week:
December 4- THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT
You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.  What does this mean?  We should fear and love God so that we do not tell lies about our neighbor,

December 7- betray him, slander him, or hurt his reputation, but defend him, speak well of him, and explain everything in the kindest way.

Language Arts:   We finished up “Dear Mr. Henshaw” this week, and tested over the book today!  The students were sad to see this story end, as they loved it so much!  For DEAR time, we began reading “Indian in the Cupboard, by Lynn Reid Banks, a favorite of mine!  We focused on adjectives this week and shared our fantasy book reports.  Next week, we will be back in our reading basals.
