Happy National Lutheran Schools’ Week! Wow, has it been a week! It was nice to get a Snow Day, and get caught
up on things, too. :) Our themed days and projects were so much fun! We are SO very blessed to have this school,
and I am SO very blessed to serve here.
God is good all the time and all the time God is good!
*We just had the AMAZING news that Danilyn has a new baby
brother! Baby Ford is here! 8lb 21
inches long! Congratulations! We are saying many prayers for all of
you!
*Today was the final day of Lutheran Schools Week! It was our Travel Day/Tourist Dress Theme:
“Sent to Serve in the World.” We looked
pretty amazing! We also had the Talent
Show this afternoon at 1:00. I was
bummed because I was unable to get any pictures of our class performing, as I
was emceeing, but it was recorded and it will be up on our website soon to view!
*We have one week left for our 3rd quarter mission project
with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
We are collecting change in our classrooms. As of today, our classroom has raised $56.10 in
the classroom. Nice work! We have not raised any money online yet. Here is the link to our class page if you’d
rather go that route: https://events.lls.org/pages/mid/Timothy-Lutheran-School-2021/brunkhorstThe fundraiser will run until Friday, February 5. Classes are competing for a pizza party! Any questions?

Please also email me if there are any specific issues you
want to be sure we discuss in our time together.
Here is what we have been up to in the classroom:
Religion- This week we focused on serving others, as
we wrote letters and cards to volunteers and our pastors and teachers. We heard the examples of Jesus washing His
disciples feet and Jesus being the Good Shepherd.
Memory for next week:
2/2-and I pray You to
forgive me all my sins where I have done wrong, and graciously keep me this
night.
2/5- For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul,
and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the wicked foe may have no
power over me. Amen.
Language Arts- This week, we read the story of “Riding
the Train,” from The Shores of Silver Lake by Laura Ingalls Wilder. She is our Author of the Month too, so this
story was fun! 4th graders
shared their historical fiction book reports and we reviewed the lowercase
cursive alphabet.
Spelling words for next Friday, February 5th (both 3rd/4th grades)--from the story, "The Stranger.":
railroad, airport, seat belt, everywhere, homesick,
understand, background, anything, ninety-nine, already, fireplace, ourselves,
all right, forever, breakfast, whenever, everything, meanwhile, afternoon,
make-believe, *mercury
Math- 3rd graders have been working with
multiplying and dividing by 10. They
will finish up Chapter 6 next week and
test over it. 4th graders are
working with multiplying double digit numbers with zeroes and rounding to
multiply. They have also had some pretty
tough words problems this week. They
tested over Chapter 5 today.
SPECIAL CLASSES
Art- We wrote letters, and made cards. We also worked with Mrs. Gorrow in creating a
HUGE Jenga game for the auction!
Computer- We worked on publishing our stories and
papers. Some of the kids have asked if they can work on the publishing of these
at home on Google Docs and this is fine with me! The keyboarding process is slow for some, as
they are just learning, so the extra practice would be great! They know our class’ username and password
and can log in at home.
Writing- We wrote friendly letters and shared them
with teachers.
Music- We
recorded our sing for NLSW.
P.E. – We finished up our Jump Roping unit this week!
May God bless weekend,
Kim
