Happy Fall!

Hi, Parents!


*We will have our Fall Party here at school on October 31st, in the afternoon, so our home school friends can participate.  Instead of Writers Workshop and Computers that day, we will have a scavenger hunt, some games, and some snacks!  Can you help with snacks, please?  If so, please use the sign-up!  Thank you so much!

*We have earned a STAR party for good behavior, and the kiddos have voted to extend our Fall Party just a bit and have makeshift tents (sheets) put up in our classroom and then play our electronics and/or board games beneath them.  They are SO creative!  I’ve never thought of doing this before!  :)  They are welcome to bring their electronics to school on Thursday.  I am so proud of them!

*Please mark your calendars for Timothy Lutheran School’s Veterans’ Day Celebration
When?  Monday, November 11
Coffee & Donuts: 8:30 am
Special Program: 9:00 am
Everyone is welcome!

*There is bad weather in the forecast for next week.  Just as a reminder, if school is canceled because of inclement weather it will be posted on Facebook and reported to Fox4.  You can look online or watch the news!  Hopefully, we won’t have any! 

*The annual Timothy Lutheran School Ministries Auction/Gala is coming up!  This is such a fun night!  Tickets are on sale at https://timothylutheranschool.com/annual-auction/
or you can just stop in the office.   You WILL NOT want to miss our local celebrity guest auctioneer, Mark Alford, or the chance to view and/or bid on our class project! More details coming soon!   

Here is what else we have been up to this week:
Religion- We discussed the story of the people of Israel receiving the 10 Commandments and entering the Promised Land.  We had a great discussion about the “fiery serpents” in our lives and the things that tempt us.  We also talked about the meaning of, “Give us this day our daily bread.”  God has blessed us with so much!  We are working on being content with the many gifts of God.  Next week, we will learn about Martin Luther and the Reformation. 

Next week’s Memory:
10/29-
Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.

Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.

11/1- THE FIRST COMMANDMENT- You shall have no other gods.
What does this mean?  We should fear, love, and trust in God above all things.

Language Arts- 3rd graders read the story, “What Do Illustrators Do?”  We learned so much about the decisions illustrators and authors make.  It was very interesting!  4th graders read the nonfiction story, “The Screech Owl Who Loved Television.”  This book led us to many great conversations about taking care of wildlife, and what animas make good pets.   This week, we also practiced writing friendly letters, and wrote one to you to share at conferences.  We also had a lesson on the correct ways to use quotations during conversations, and will practice this in the upcoming weeks.  As a class, next week, we will read the true story of Martin Luther. 

Spelling Words for Friday, November 1st:
(both 3rd/4th grades)
Martin Luther, afraid, church, knight, monk, trust, choir, shield, scare, forgiveness, *Reformation

Math- 3rd graders worked with rounding and adding longer addition this week.  They also worked with mental math and some problem solving.  4th graders tested over Chapter 2, and have begun the next chapter relating multiplication and division and multiplication and subtraction.  Keep practicing those math facts at home!

Science- We began Science this week!  Woohoo!  We have learned all about the Scientific Method, and learned what scientist do.  We know now that we are all scientists in here, sharing or discoveries and learning together!  We are excited! 

SPECIAL CLASSES
Art- Preparing for our Veterans’ Day celebration, we painted beautiful American flags, and then cut our patriotic words to adorn them.  We will display these at the celebration. 

Writing-We are continuing publishing our personal narratives. 

P.E.- We played a volleyball game this week!
