 Today we began our day with chapel. We talked about Jesus birth, and all of the important people that visited him, especially the wisemen. 


We also got to see Pastor Andy light the second advent candle today.


We went outside after chapel. We played tag, and the game they came up with and named, "Rainbow Friends."





In small group today we worked on our portfolios. We took time and worked on our page Who is Jesus? 

It is amazing to see how much they have grown in their faith as we work on these pages.





During free choice time we continued to explore our new provocation,"Can you make a Christmas Tree?" 

Provocations are experiences I set-up in response to children’s interests and ideas. When I set up a provocation I am providing hands-on exploration for children to practice, test, construct and deconstruct their ideas and theories.

I set up a provocation and listen.  I engage in the children's thinking.  It is my thread to lead us onward.

A provocation will PROVOKE thinking! 
Focus and attention are the keys to developing strong pathways in the brain. Powerful provocations give children opportunities to attend to the world of ideas and concepts with incredible focus and attention.

First Day of School Wednesday, August 9th, 2023

 We have had a fantastic first day of school. This morning we worked on our fine motor drawers and did our morning meeting and Jesus Time. We also began learning all of our friends' names. We had chapel today as well. We learned how God is the vine and we are the branches. As long as we are connected to Jesus and the word, we will be able to do anything that is put in front of us.

 Today we began with Jesus Time once again. We reviewed the story of Jesus dying on the cross, and how our sins were washed away by His sacrifice.  We also worked together to build a cross with blocks. We learned about all of our special places in Jesus' family, and how when we work together it makes Jesus happy. We had so much fun outside this morning. We played tag, duck-duck- goose and had a blast on the swings. We also went on a scavenger hunt today to find different materials to make a collage tomorrow. We also had our last library time of the year today.
