FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK
The book of Ephesians is one I turn to regularly as it is full of words of Paul that are applicable to each one of us. Just as Paul prays for the Ephesians this prayer I pray it for each of you. Chapter 3: 14-21: “For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”
And talking about prayer, I received the following as an email a few years back and thought I would share with you to give you suggestions of what to pray for your child as well. PRAY FOR YOUR CHILD 1. Pray NOTHING hinders your child from accepting Christ as his/her personal Savior early
in life. (Matthew 19:14) 2. Pray your child learns to know God and will have a deep desire to do God's will for his/her
life. (Psalms 119:27,30,34,35). 3. Pray your child hears stories from the Bible that will be a basis for his/her decisions
throughout life. (Ecclesiastes 12:1, Psalms 71:17). 4. Pray your child will-develop a keen sense of right and wrong and that he/she will truly
abhor evil and cling to that which is good. (Psalms 139:23-4).
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

Urgent - Library Volunteers Needed
The TCS library is in need of three volunteers. This is a great way to fulfill all your volunteer hours for the year. Please check
below for volunteer descriptions. Contact Lorraine Groot at lgroot@timothycs.ca or the school office if you are interested or able
to help.
1. Most Monday mornings from 8:30 to 9:30 checking in and re-shelving returned books. No experience is necessary. (This job
can be split between two people.)
2. Checking out books for students from 9:00 to 11:00, every other Monday the library is open. This job is shared with two other
volunteers. A schedule can be arranged. A little computer knowledge would be helpful and training is available.
3. Cleaning the library once a month: dusting the books, shelves and computers, wiping tables and other surfaces. This can be
done any time during the school day when the library is not scheduled for use.
5. Pray your child will increase in wisdom (mentally) and in stature (physically) and in favor with God (spiritually) and mankind (socially). (Luke 2:52). This prayer covers his/her total development to his/her full potential.
6. Pray that your child will develop a thankful heart and a positive mental attitude. (Psalm 126:2-3, Romans 8:31) 7. Pray that God protect your child from Satan and his/her wiles in every area of his/her life. (John 17:55, Psalm 121) 8. Pray that God would destroy the enemies in his/her life whether they be weaknesses, lying, selfishness etc. (Psalms 120:2; 140). 9. Pray that God would make him/her successful in the work God has for him/her to do. (Psalm 118:25, 139:9-10) 10. Pray he/she have a strong sense of belonging to a family that is loving and dwells together in unity (Psalms 133, Colossians 3:12-14). 11. Pray he/she will respect authority. (Romans 13:1, Ephesians 6:1-4). 12. Pray that his/her entire life will be a testimony of the greatness and love of Christ. (Philippians 2:15-16 Thess. 5:2-3)
I believe that God can and will do great things here at Timothy Christian School, and may He receive all the glory for the good that goes on here. God is at work within us as a school, as families and as individuals and I pray that we give God the glory for all he does for us.

MRS. HUDSON - GRADE 3/4
Our goal: We want Grade 3/4 to be a place where everyone feels safe, happy, and respected. We want to serve God and learn about Him, His Word, and His world.—written by the students of Grade 3/4 Last week we began our Whiz Quizzes—mental math drills. Returning students will be picking up where they left off last year. Everyone else will be beginning with +1, then -1, etc. There are still a few microwave day slots available on a first come, first served basis for those who wish to take advantage of sending a warm meal one day per week. Please send a note with your child stating which date you prefer. Our first spelling test went very well. The next one will be on Thursday, September 19. Grade 3 words: could, favourite, people,
until, very, want, who. Grade 4 words: discovery, hopeless, musician, unfriendly, whiz, whoever, reliable
What’s coming up? Tues., Sept. 17: Cross-country running Thurs., Sept. 19: Spelling test (See lists above)
Cross-country running
Scholastic Book order due Fri., Sept. 20: Books on provinces due at school
Mrs. Lise Socials: This week our focus will be on the provinces and territories of Canada: how Canada is divided into parts; what is special about each of them and why it is important for Canadian citizens to know about them. By Thursday, students will need to have chosen a province/territory to make a brochure on. Please go to the library with your child this week to pick out two books of that province/territory. Books need to be in school for Friday as we will be working on the brochure in class. Computers: This week we will begin keyboarding lessons. Bible: This week we begin our unit on the Judges. We will begin by learning about Othniel and Ehud. We begin Memory work this week. It comes from Psalm 135: 13-18. It will be due October 18th. Please practice with them at home so that they are prepared to recite on that day. We will do our best to practice in class as well. Grade 3 LA: Three periods a week, grade 3 is on their own and we will be doing extra language arts. We have begun by studying Robert Munsch, a Canadian author. Ask your child what they have learned about him and how he became a writer.
Mrs. Porter – Grade 3 Music & French This year in Music the concepts of a steady beat, high and low pitch, fast and slow tempo (speed), echo and moving to music will be continually reinforced in all our songs, games and activities. Students finished learning a new song "Humpty Dumpty" and were even able to add the choreography. Well done! Last week in French, we reviewed the parts of the body and added to our repertoire of simple commands/actions that we are able to follow.
Ms Miedema – Grade 4 Music & French Music: Please return Recorder Order Forms by Tuesday, Sept. 17th. Please have recorders at school on Thursday. On Thursday, there will be a quiz on naming notes (line notes and space notes). French: Colours quiz on Wednesday.
MISS CHIANG – GRADE 1/2 This Friday will be our first spelling test. This year we will have our spelling tests before morning recess. Please help ensure your child
is prepared for the test by reviewing the words at home, as well as arriving at school on time. A note was also sent home last week,
indicating your child’s spelling group.
In Science this week, we will be focusing on dirt. Students should bring in a sandwich bag or margarine container of dirt for
examination. We are going to compare our different dirt samples as well as examine what is often found in it.
In Math, we have been busy looking at different patterns. We are developing our ability to describe what is changing in a pattern, ie
shape, size, etc. We are also working on describing what is repeating in a pattern. This week we will finish up our unit on patterns and
move on to number relationships next week.
In Writing, we are focusing on prayers. We have been discussing what we can talk to God about and making a list with our partners.
We have marveled at God’s awesomeness and the fact that we can talk to God about whatever we need to. This week, we will begin
writing our ideas into our notebooks. At home, discuss with your child different things that you can talk to God about.

Mrs. Porter
Bible: Memory work came home last Tuesday on little orange sheets of paper. Students either placed it in the pocket of their agenda,
or it was stapled into their agenda. The verses we are working on are Ps. 119:18 and 34. Memory work is reviewed each class and we
always add actions to help us remember the words. Students will recite their verses on Tuesdays, and then get a new verse that same
day. We had a great week together as we plunged into the book of Luke to start our study of the New Testament. This week we see
Jesus as a boy and then the start of his public ministry.
Music and French: This year in Music the concepts of a steady beat, high and low pitch, fast and slow tempo (speed), echo and moving
to music will be continually reinforced in all our songs, games and activities. Students finished learning a new song "Humpty Dumpty"
and were even able to add the choreography. Well done! Last week in French, we reviewed the parts of the body and added to our
repertoire of simple commands/actions that we are able to follow.
MRS. GROOT & MRS. PORTER – JK/SK
Getting to know each other has been good these past two weeks. We are having lots of fun playing in and outdoors, singing,
sorting, recognizing our names, drawing, reading, learning nursery rhymes, and playing some more. Right now, I think, the
children’s favourite part of the day is playtime. Ask your child who they played with today and what they did.
Our first class trip is three weeks away. We are going to the Country Apple Orchard located in King City on Friday, Oct. 4. If
you would love to breathe some fresh country air, pick apples off a tree and enjoy the laughter and spontaneity of three, four
and five years old and of course drive us to King City please contact Lorraine Groot @ lgroot@timothycs.ca or Elizabeth
Martinez (our grade mother) @ 647-344-3663. We have 17 children to accommodate. Please keep in mind all children must
travel in a booster seat with lap and shoulder seatbelt straps. Please also let us know how many children you can properly
transport. If you have questions concerning insurance please call the office.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sara who turns five on Tuesday. We will celebrate with her on Wednesday. May God bless you with a
wonderful year, Sara.
Thank you to those who have returned the Chirp and Highlights forms. If you have not returned yours yet there is still an
opportunity to do so this week. We get free stuff if you return your forms even if you do not order anything. Please make
sure you sign the forms regardless of whether you say yes or no. Thank you.
Scholastic book orders are due this Friday, Sept. 20.
Since the school library is not opening until next Monday we will coincide our first Home Activity Page with that date. Look
for our first Home Activity page coming home next Monday, Sept. 23.
If you have not done so, please provide your child with extra clothing they can change into in case of a spill or accident. You
can either send this each school day in their knapsack or put it in a clearly labelled bag and hang it on their hook. If their
clothing gets wet I will send it home for washing.
WATER BOTTLES: It is so important for the children to be well hydrated with water (not juice) throughout the day. Thank you
for providing a water bottle each school day.
Have a wonderful week as we enjoy God’s creation all around us and the last official week of summer.
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!
