 Hi, Parents!  I hope you have had a blessed week!

 Here are some things that are coming up: (SOOOO many details—I am so sorry!) 

 LUTHERAN SCHOOLS’ WEEK IS NEXT WEEK!  January 23rd-30th:  This is a special week set aside by all Lutheran Schools nationwide to celebrate together.  Timothy has a fun Spirit Week that week, where we dress in a special way every day and also do special activities.  (PLEASE don’t go out and purchase anything for these days—Just use items from around your home!) 

Theme:  “In ALL Things”

Sunday- Jan 23 – 3-8 grades are singing at our RD Mize location at 9:00. Students can sit with their parents and come forward  when the pastor calls them up. Wear Timmy gear or church clothes.

Monday-CHRIST ***Wear Christian shirts or hats.  Discuss:  What does Jesus mean to me?  All-School Project:  Make crowns—We are members of the Kingdom of God!

Wednesday-CHILDREN ***Wear your class color!  4th grade is PURPLE!  All-School Activity: A Bible Bee!

Friday-COMMUNITY ***Dress Your Best!  All-School Activity: Grandparents/Special Person Day/Talent Show—12:30 dismissal  (There is NO hot lunch on this day.  If your child is not leaving with their grandparent or special person, and is going to after-care, please send a sack lunch.  Thank you!)

 

BOOK FAIR-Mark your calendars for our January Book Fair!  The fair will be open before and after school January 24-27 (Monday-Thursday), during Grandparents' Day (Friday), and before and after Worship on January 30 (Sunday).  We also have an online option at www.scholastic.com/bf/tlsrams.

This year we have an exciting new feature called the E-Wallet.  Parents can set up an E-Wallet online and share with friends and family so students can shop the fair with their funds!

Thank you so much for your support - all purchases benefit our school!  We do need volunteers for short shifts throughout the week. If you’d like to sign up to volunteer, check out the sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4CACAF2AA5FCC61-tlsjanuary.

 

*Do you have a broom at home?  If so, could we borrow it next week for our Talent Show song and dance?  I have several, so if you cannot send it, please don’t worry!  If so, however, please send it to school on Monday with your name somewhere on it, and we will send them back home on Friday.   (Some “Step-In-Time!)

 

*On Thursday, we will be making valentines and writing letters to people in our community and church.  We have a list of shut-ins from our church that we will be sharing some love with, but if you have the name and address of a soldier or a healthcare worker that we can also share some love with, will you please send me their names and addresses?  THANK YOU!

Here is what we have been up to this week:

RELIGION- We learned all about Naaman, Elisha, and the servant girl this week, in a beautiful story of God’s healing grace.  We also had a wonderful discussion about how to be good witnesses for God, even at 9 or 10 years old.  We discussed ways that we can share Jesus’ love through our actions and words, and ways we help others.  We even talked about how to witness to others that think that God has deserted them or when God does not hear their prayers.  We have the promise that God is ALWAYS with us.  This is such an amazing group of kiddos with amazing ideas!   

 

MEMORY next week:

1/25- Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

2/1- And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

 

LANGUAGE ARTS/SOCIAL STUDIES- We again discussed the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by reading a story called Happy Birthday, Dr. King!  We discussed Rosa Parks, the bus boycott, and what discrimination looks like.  After watching/hearing the short story of Dr. Seuss’s The Sneetches, we discussed how being different is how God planned for us to be—and ALL, EVERYONE is beautiful! 

 

SPELLING WORDS for Friday, January 28th:  (from Ramona and Her Father)

genuine, anxious, comet, pretend, utilize, cross, urge, coax, swifter, outrunning, *unfortunately

 

MATH-This week, we have learned how to divide, having zeroes in the quotient, and how to solve multi-step word problems.  These last few days, we have been reviewing the many skills we have learned in this chapter, including long multiplication and long division.  We will test over this chapter next week, and begin a unit on patterns.  Graded reviews are coming home today.  Please take the time to go over these with your kiddo, so they can find their mistakes and be ready for the test on Monday.  Good job, 4th graders! 

 

SCIENCE- We are studying the world of plants!  Today we dissected some onion plants and looked for the various pant parts. 

 

SPECIAL CLASSES

Art- This week, we worked on our auction project. (Take a sneak peek below!)

Health- We discussed mental health—How to think positively, find our strengths, lift others up, and how to lean on God and Christian friends in those times of trouble. 

P.E.- We played a fun dodgeball game called “Swamp Ball.”

Music- We practiced some “Step in Time” and some “Go Tell It”  for church on Sunday!

Writing-  We worked on and shared our fictional narratives. 

 

Have a wonderful weekend!  Go Chiefs!
