It has been a beautiful week! Thank you for taking the time to read this
note and see what we have coming up and what we have been up to! ;)
*Timothy Lutheran will be walking in the Blue Springs Fall
Fun Fest PARADE this Saturday, September 17th!
We are the 54th. Please line up at 9:30 at 2103 NW Vesper St. This is
the Blue Springs High School Freshman Center. There is a circle drive in front
of the building. This is where you will find our float. The theme is Super
Heroes, so if you need to dust off that cape or Super Suit, now is the time! We
can also just wear our Rams t-shirts, uniforms, or Timothy colors (red, blue,
white). The parade ends at St. John
LaLande on R.D. Mize Road. We ask that
parents walk (or ride) with your kiddos, please. Mrs. Hatcher has been working on the songs
the kiddos will sing while we walk too!
What a way to show share the love of Jesus and show our Rams pride!
*There is CROSSWALK on Wednesday nights for these kiddos! Children pre-k thru 5th grade, come hang out
with us on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8pm at Crosswalk at our Timothy
Lutheran Ministries NORTH CAMPUS (425 NW RD MIZE). There will be songs, crafts, Bible lessons,
friends, snacks, and all kinds of fun.

THANK YOU!
*Parent/Teacher conferences are coming up--September 29th and 30th. We get out at 1:00 both days. I will need to end early on Friday night, as we are headed out of town. I have added some other time slots to hopefully aid you in finding a time that is suitable for your family. This is a parent/teacher conference only, but children are welcome to hang out in the hallways during the conference. These conferences are for full-time kiddos only. We will be discussing grades, classroom behavior, and some of their special work. I am looking forward to visiting with each of you! Thank you!

Here is what we have been up to this week:
RELIGION- One of my highlights that we do every day, is that
we have devotions every morning, followed by highs and lows, which is always so
wonderful, as I get an insight into the children’s’ lives that I normally would
not get the chance to see. It is so
wonderful… We always then pray for one another and give each other a blessing. This week, we discussed the relationship of
Abram and his nephew Lot, and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, and God’s
promises to Abram. We discussed God’s
Laws and His expectations of us, as well as the Good News of the Gospel—that we
cannot by ourselves follow God’s Law perfectly, but JESUS did it for us! Because if this, we get to live with him
forever!
This week we also discussed the tragedies of September 11th, 2001. We watched a short video about this fateful day, and also read several books and had a very candid discussion. We made a beautiful book about our thoughts…This led to a great discussion about God and His love for us. We shared the Bible verse Romans 8: 38-39….and discussed how God will never, ever leave us. We used this verse to illustrate our thoughts of 9/11.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither
angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither
height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate
us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.~ Romans 8: 38-39

LANGUAGE ARTS- We read a story called “The Power of W.O.W.” This was a fabulous story about youth coming together to “fight” for a cause they believed in, which in this case was saving their traveling library, as funds had been cut. We then practiced putting on a play. Next week, we will invite some 3rd graders to come and watch us! They are doing a fantastic job and showed real collaboration as they worked as a team!

SPECIAL CLASSES
ART- We painted our Expressionistic horizon line
pictures. They are colorful and
amazing!
MUSIC- The students practiced songs for the parade on Saturday. They sound SO beautiful with their praises to God! Hopefully, you will be able to come and hear them!
WRITING- This week, we worked on the writing process, and students began writing their own fiction stories. Students planned, drafted, revised, edited, and began publishing their stories.
COMPUTER LAB- We began working with keyboarding, and where our fingers go on the home keys. We are using a site called www.typing.com. Each child has his or her own sign-in and password. They are free to practice at home. Please just let me know if you need this information to do so!
P.E.- We worked on volleyball skills this week—passing, setting, hitting, and serving! We played a game called Battleship!
Have a BLESSED weekend!
