Enjoy God's Creation this weekend!

 Hi, all!  What a FUN week we have had!  Between viewing the Solar Eclipse on Monday to getting ready for the School of Economics next Monday, we have been busy! 

 

Here are a several upcoming events: 

 

*TIMOTHY LUTHERAN PTL is doing a bundt cake & coffee fundraiser! We have partnered with The Giving Bean and Nothing Bundt Cakes to raise money for online resources for our classrooms. Our two big resources that get funded by PTL are Teachers Pay Teachers and Right Now Media.

This year we are going to make the sales even sweeter.  1st, 2nd, and 3rd place students that get the highest gross sales will get 2 tickets to Silver Dollar City! The fundraiser will be from April 8th to April 19th. Order forms MUST BE returned on April 19th. Order forms were sent home Monday, April 8th. Please contact Kristina Tierney with any questions at kristinat@timothylutheran.com.

 Winners will be announced on Wednesday,  April 24^th,  during Chapel.

 

(Coffee Order Takes 7-14 days to receive and Bundt Cakes will be delivered April 29th.)

 

*SCHOOL of ECONOMICS is Monday!  We still need a few more drivers to transport us there on that Monday morning.  We only need rides there, as the group of parents going in to train that morning can bring us back to school afterwards.  If you are able to help, here is the link:  (SOE is just down 7 Hwy!  Thanks!)  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4DADAB2DA7F58-school#/

 

*Tuesday, April 23rd, is our 6th Annual RAMS RUN!  Our cross-country runners will be competing against other area Lutheran/Christian schools.  Come cheer on our Rams!  It is always a fun time!  The first race begins at 5:00.

 

*Our class will be taking our last MAP Growth testing from 1:00-2:00 on April 29^th, May 1^st, and May 3^rd.  (MWF) I am just giving you these dates, so if you are making appointments, if you can, please steer away from these times.  Thanks so much! 

 

*FUN DAY is only 4 weeks away! This year it is on Friday, May 10th. For those of you new to TLS, Fun Day is a day we set aside for the students to have as much fun as possible on campus but OUTSIDE of the classroom. To pull off such a large undertaking, we need all hands on deck! Here is a sign-up genius for all the ways you can help: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0A44A4A728A2FD0-48830283-2024

Here is what we have been up to:

 RELIGION: We discussed the “Parable of the Great Banquet” this week, discussing how our gracious Heavenly Father has invited ALL to His great banquet in the sky.  It is up to us, as Christians, to spread the invitation!  How blessed we are!

 MEMORY for next week:

4/16-You prepare a table before me

    in the presence of my enemies;

you anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

 

4/19-Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

 

LANGUAGE ARTS: We worked more on our final book report projects---our Biography Lap Books.  Most students have read their entire biography are taking notes.  We will use these in the reports and in our oral reports when we have our Living Museum.  We also continued learning about Harry S. Truman this week.  We learned about his first job at Clinton’s drugstore, and how he graduated from high school.  It has been so informative for our class to hear about President Truman as a child!  He had a “normal” life, and was hard-working, Christian young man.  We also discussed his first “adult” jobs and his presidency.  We will learn more specifics about Truman next week. 

 SPELLING WORDS for next Friday, April 19th: (from the book Harry S. Truman: Thirty-Third President of the United States)

positive, believe, presence, wonderful, interesting, delicious, schedule, temperature, church, request, *excruciating

 

MATH: We tested over multiplying and dividing fractions, and now have begun the unit about changing fractions into decimals.  We will begin working with money as well.  The majority of our class has passed their mad minutes!  We will celebrate SOON!!

 

MO HISTORY:  This week, we shared our posters about resources and tourist attractions here in Missouri and read more about our famous Missourians.  We will begin a new Science chapter on Tuesday.

 

ART:  The honeybee is Missouri’s state insect, so we learned all about honeybees and began some beautiful bee and honeycomb pictures.  These too, will be on display in our museum!

 

MUSIC: We practiced singing some our songs for our upcoming Spring Musical.

 

WRITERS’ WORKSHOP: We worked on our Biography Lap books and MO History projects. 

 

Yours in Christ,
