Hello, 4th grade parents! We have had a warm, but wonderful week! We have some fun things coming up:
*Timothy Lutheran will be walking in the Blue Springs Fall
Fun Fest Parade THIS Saturday, September 21st!
This is such a fun event! The
parade begins at 10am, so please plan to be at the float from 9:30-9:45
am. We will wear our Rams t-shirts,
uniforms, or Timothy colors (red, blue, white).
Our float is entry #59, and we will be parked in the parking lot of the
Blue Springs School District Administration building at 1801 NW Vesper St. There
is a drop off zone on the corner of NW 22nd St & Vesper. Suggestions for parking are at Blue Springs
High School or near the end of the parade at St. John LaLande. We ask that
parents walk (or ride) with your kiddos, please. What a way to show and share the love of
Jesus with all of Blue Springs! Come and
show our Rams’ pride! After the parade, you can regain your energy by having a
Timmy Burger (on the corner of 10th & Main Street).
*Timothy Lutheran School’s 8th annual WALK-A-THON is Friday,
September 27th from 1:30-2:30. We are
hosting this fun fundraiser to raise funds for our school—to buy a ClearTouch
panel for the7th grade classroom and to put towards a new soccer goal. All students will be participating and can
get pledges for completing their laps around the school’s parking lots. (Pledge sheets are coming home today.) If a student chooses not to get pledges, it
is okay! We all are going to walk and
celebrate the ENDURANCE God has given us!
We do need parent volunteers if you are available. We will need people to send in snacks, to
keep track of laps, and to stand as route guards and cheerleaders!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
*Please come join us for WORSHIP at Timothy Lutheran Church
on Sunday, September 29th.
All of our Timothy students, Preschool – 8th grade, will sing a couple
songs at the beginning of both the 9:00 a.m. service and the 10:30a.m.
service. Students will sit with you
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! The generous support of
Timothy Lutheran Church members blesses our school greatly.
Here is what we have been doing in the classroom:
RELIGION- In Religion class this week, we talked about how
God gave Moses his helpers—Aaron, Joshua, and Jethro, amongst others… Then, we
had a discussion about how God intends for us all to have Christian helpers in
our lives to guide and assist us, including our beloved pastors. We had a whole lesson about elders and how
they assist the pastor. Pastor Ryan came
in on Tuesday so we could ask him a lot of questions about becoming a pastor,
what his Calling entails, and how we can pray for him and assist him. It was a wonderful time, and we learned so
much from him! We learned that we must
always listen to the “nudge” or Call from God, and that He truly does speak to
us through different people. We also
need to make sure that we are always praying for our pastors—uplifting them in
daily prayer, that God gives them peace, clarity, and rest. They are such a BLESSING to all of us, and we
must take care of them! This week, we
also learned all about the tabernacle and God’s lessons with the snake on the
pole!

LANGUAGE ARTS- We read a story entitled, Stormalong,
a tall-tale about a sailor on one of the northeast’s’ old clipper ships. We had so much fun reading and discussing
this story. Thank you for taking to time
to listen to it at home as well! It is
so very important for your child to being his or her reading book home at least
once a week to review the story we are sharing in class. This helps with retention, as well as oratory
skills. With this story, we discussed
hyperboles, homophones, and discussed how to use reference materials. In English, we learned how to use common and
proper nouns.

block, shown, oatmeal, wrote, fellow, scold, coast, odd,
locate, slope, throat, host, online, shock, solve, known, remote, stock, boast,
globe, bonus, approach

MATH- This week, we reviewed
Addition and Subtraction Properties and Rules, addition and subtraction
patterns, how to add and subtract mentally, and how to estimate sums and
differences! The students are doing much
better at taking their time, SLOWING down, and checking over their math work
before handing it in. I am so proud of
them! We began our 4’s in mad minutes
today! Please keep working at home!
SCIENCE-We reviewed the words organism, population,
community, ecosystem, non-living, and living things. We also talked about the 6 things plants need
to live and the 5 things animals need to live.
We also played a game called “Pond Ecosystem.”
SPECIAL CLASSES
ART- We learned all about LINES this week! We discussed the term “contour line,” and
have drawn a contour of an animal to fill in with all of the lines we have
learned. They are cool!
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!
COMPUTERS- We practiced typing and using the home keys on
ww.wtyping.com. Students are welcome to
log in at home and practice too!
WRITING- We began working on our BioPoems this week—poems
all about each one of us!
P.E.- We worked on volleyball skills this week—bow and arrow
hitting and serving.
Have a wonderful weekend!
See you at the parade!
