FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

Thank you to all for coming out to our parent meetings last week. I believe it is very important that parents hear directly from the board on matters of the school. Parents have a vested interest since this is where their children are being educated. I would like parents to seriously consider membership into the association. If you would like more information do not hesitate to give me a call and ask me your questions. Also keep the Board in your prayers, that they may follow God’s leading and that God’s direction for TCS will be felt by all and decisions can be made in a way that pleases Him.

As teachers were busy working on school related business yesterday, I hope you enjoyed spending some extra time with your children. Just a reminder that as the weather gets more brisk and wintery that you please make sure that your children have warm enough clothes to be outside. The fresh air is important for them and they are expected to be outside morning and afternoon for recesses. Hats and mittens should be important parts of their wardrobe by now. It’s more important to be warm than to be cool!

Jesus sa id , “ I am the l ight of the world . Whoever fol lows me wi l l never

walk in darkness , bu t w i l l have the l igh t of l i fe . ” John 8 :12b

We also enjoyed our lab lesson, where we touched and studied artifacts from ancient Egypt! Isn’t it remarkable to know that although these cultures have long ceased existing, our God everlasting is an everlasting God? He was there then, He is here now, and He will be there in the future!

Ms Chiang – Science Last week, the students had time to work on their animal habitats. We will have one more class period to finish up the last of the details. What doesn’t get done in class, will then be expected to be finished at home. On Friday, we will be presenting our habitats to the class.

MISS CHIANG – GRADE 1/2 What interesting November weather. We have had nice warm weather, bitter cold weather, and various forms of precipitation. Please

help your child to be prepared for all types of weather as it can change drastically throughout the day. At this point of the school

year, your child should also have a pair of indoor running shoes. This will help us keep our classroom clean as well as allow them to

participate safely in gym class. Please ensure your child has their shoes at school.

In Math, we will be finishing up our review of coins, money and temperature. This is great math that can easily be continued at home.

Simply ask your child to tell you the time on an analogue clock, or allow them to count out the coins when paying for groceries.

In Reading, both grade one and two have been doing a great job identifying the beginning, middle and end of a story. Help your child

deepen their understanding of the books they read at home by asking them what happened at the beginning of the story, the middle

and the end. This will help them to recall the important parts of the book.

In Gym, we have begun our basketball unit. The students have done a great job dribbling the ball. They all demonstrate great

sportsmanship as they encourage each other to keep trying, even though it can be somewhat frustrating when the balls bounce off in

different directions. Well done everyone!

Show and Tell: Group A: Student’s choice

Word Wall Words:

Lions: you, your, car, play, out

Bears: what, than, then, many, sing

Koalas: good, can’t, won’t, don’t, school

Camels: carry, I’m, about, they’re, sometimes

Extra Spelling Words Grade 2 – newspaper, picture

Spelling Test: Friday

Mrs. Porter

Bible: Students continue to do a wonderful job on their memory work, which is due on Friday. The two songs, Child so Lovely and One

Peaceful Night, are sounding just lovely! We had a terrific celebration on our Bible Friday and a special thanks to the Spagnolo Family

for sending in the amazing Bible card games. They were awesome! This week we will finish our prayer puppets and keep working on

learning the books of the New Testament- we're almost there!

Mrs. Lise

Socials: Grade 1/2 are working hard. Each week we have been learning about a different holiday in Canada. This week we will focus on

Canadian Nature and what Ground Hog Day represents. With glowing hearts we give thanks to God for his wonderful creation here in

Canada.

MRS. GROOT & MRS. PORTER – JK/SK BRING YOUR BOOSTER SEAT TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY NOV. 20 for our trip to Pet Smart. Please send an EASY and FAST

snack for the morning, like a chewy bar. We will leave at 9:00 a.m. and should be back before lunch (between 11:00 and

11:30). I will have a map for the drivers the morning of the trip. Thank you to our parents for driving us to Pet Smart.

Our letter of the week is Hh The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. Isaiah 54:5 Hh is also for hamster. Our sight word is:

‘like’.

Last Thursday we marked 50 days of school. Now we begin our count down to 100 days of school. In our devotions we thank

God for providing us with many blessings including a Christian school that we may attend. Psalm 50:1 tells us “the Mighty

One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets. Psalm 50:12b says

“...for the world is mine, and all that is in it.”

Friday is hat day. Please wear a fun or favourite hat.

There is no library this week. Last Friday your child came home with the Home Activity Page for this week.

FROM THE GOLF COMMITTEE We would like to encourage you to patronize our sponsors and prize donors with your business in the future. Without them, Timothy’s

Annual Tee-Off wouldn't be successful. Give them the chance to compete for your business!

This week's sponsors are…
