Happy Friday! :)

 Hello, 4th grade parents!   We had our Walk-A-Thon today and it was SO much fun!  THANK YOU for all of your support, volunteerism, and donations!  We had beautiful weather and sunshine and a good time!  Your child will be coming home with a name tag today that indicates how many laps he or she completed.  If you need to use this to collect money from your loved ones, please do so.  We will be collecting until October 4th.  :)  You can still donate online too!

 **Please come join us for WORSHIP at Timothy Lutheran Church, THIS SUNDAY, September 29th.  All of our Timothy students, Preschool – 8th grade, will sing a couple songs right at the beginning of both the 9:00 a.m. service and the 10:30a.m. service.  Please be there about 8:45 to line up inside the auditorium.  Please wear Rams colors or Sunday best.  Students will sit with you after they sing during the first service, and will be able to leave after they sing at the beginning of the second service.  We are excited about this opportunity to share our voices of praise with our Timothy Lutheran family! 

 Here is what we have been doing in the classroom:

RELIGION- We have begun a new unit where we are studying some of God’s chosen leaders.  We have talked about Deborah, Barak, Ruth, and Samuel.  This has been enlightening because we are discussing respecting authority and how to strengthen our personal character as we talk about life circumstances and how we react in them.  We are seeing God at work in our lives, and with this are learning how to live our lives of faith.   Today, we talked about scenarios where we are called to serve. 

 MEMORY for Next Week:

10/1-

Hebrews

James

1 & 2 Peter

1 , 2, & 3 John

 LANGUAGE ARTS- In class, we read a play entitled, “The Power of W.O.W,” which was a story of kids collaborating together to save their beloved library.  Fourth graders had some fun acting all of this our and showcasing our acting talents!  :)  In class, we discussed sentence fragments, run-on sentences, and how to use a graphic organizer to document a story.  We have been busy!  Please remind your 4th grader that Newbery Award book reports and projects are due MONDAY!
