Hi, parents! This
cold and snow is so weird, isn’t it?! I
hope you are home and WARM. I decided to
come up to school and get things ready for our fun week next week!
We have A LOT of fun upcoming events:
*Report cards came home on Wednesday, so please check your
child’s folder for those!
*We sing at church THIS SUNDAY! I pray most of you can make it! The students are sharing a beautiful song
about Jesus, and we are kicking off National Lutheran Schools Week! We will be singing at the beginning of both
the 9:00 and 10:30 services. Mrs.
Hatcher has asked that the students be at church (in the gym) at 8:45 on Sunday
morning, sitting with you. They will be
called forward at about 8:50 to line-up at the front of the church, and will
sing right at 9:00. Then, they can go
back and workshop with you. We will sing
this way at the beginning of the 10:30 service, and then are free to go
home! They can wear their Sunday clothes
or Timothy Rams gear. Hope to see you
there!
*Please mark your calendars for our January Book Fair
January 21-26 in the lobby! The fair
will be open before and after school January 22-25 (Monday-Thursday), during
Grandparents' Day (Friday, January 26), and before and after both Worship
services on January 21 (Sunday). We also
have an online option at https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/tlsrams. Thank you
so much for your support - all purchases benefit our school! Our fair is run on 100% volunteer power and
we need your help! Please consider signing up to volunteer with this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B4CA4A829A5FCC25-47100711-tlsjanuary#/

We worked hard this week:
We began our MAP testing!
We just took our Reading portion this week, and will take our Math and Language
Usage test next week.
RELIGION: We had our
classroom Bible Trivia contest to see who our class competitors will be for
next Thursday's Bible Bee!
….(Drumroll)...and our winners are:
Wyatt Sesler and Duke Hutton! We
are so proud and wish them the BEST!
We took our commandment test. The students did well! We will get caught up with Memory next
week. Please note the changes:
1/23- The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in
heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against
us. 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 have learned about the life and times of
Martin Luther King Jr. this week. We
read his short biography, watched his “I Have a Dream” speech, and reviewed our
story, “Happy Birthday, Dr. King.” Next
week, we will read the story written by his sister, “My Brother, Martin.” Our spelling test over this week’s words will
be on MONDAY. We will have a new set of
words for next THURSDAY.
SPELLING words for next Thursday, January 25th: (from “My Brother Martin”) west, steep,
member, gleam, fresh, freedom, speed, steam, beast, believe, speck, kept,
cheap, pretend, greed, shelf, least, eager, reason, chief, echo, menu,
*segregation
MATH: We kept
practicing long division this week.
Students are catching on to this, but could really use some practice at
home. Next week, we will continue and
discuss remainders. We are memorizing
our 12’s too, and will soon be having mad minutes that contain ALL the facts we
have memorized!
ART: We learned how
to draw portraits, and began portraits of Martin Luther King Jr.!
P.E.: We have begun
our Presidential Physical Fitness unit.
We began by learning the correct ways to do sit-ups and push-ups. We will set our own personal goals next
week.
