This Sunday marks the end of our winter term. We like to spread joy and hope in Young Church, so we begin spring early! The curricula in all classes continues from winter, but we'll have a new set of teachers coming in for these last couple of months. Thank you to the good folks who gave of themselves this term... they have served our children well with their humor, authenticity, patience and generosity: Ally McNamee, Kristen Donahue, Christine Doherty, Laura Litcofsky, Catherine Williams, Elizabeth Silveira, Rebecca Brodish, Sarah Spalding, Carey Creps, Kimberly Neely, Tim Fountain, Jay Iannini, Steve Amery, and Meryl Baier. While we're at it, let's thank our intrepid Our Whole Lives (OWL) facilitators, who WILL continue to teach in the spring: Sue Johnson, Alex Gramling and Jill Schlanger; and our senior high youth group advisors: Becky Dill, Ken Okaya, Kelly McNamee, Rob Fitzgibbon, Michaela Gile, and Ed Meagher. It takes a village, folks! How blessed our children are to have these adults in their lives.
Here's what's up this Sunday:
The preschool class will consider why differences are important and will do an exercise illlustrating how they all see things differently.
The K-1 class will hear the Dr. Seuss story, "Have I Ever Told You How Lucky You Are?" and will reflect on things they are thankful for by tossing a gratitude ball and making thank you cards.
The second grade class will learn about the life of Unitarian astronomer Maria Mitchell and will make their own constellations and launch rockets made from film canisters.
Third graders will learn about Islamic prayer and make another prayer bead.
Fourth graders will hear the beginning of the story of Moses and will make a burning bush.
The fifth grade class will hear the parable of the Good Samaritan and will create a modern-day version of it.
Sixth graders will reflect on motivation--what motivates people to act in certain ways--and will make posters of outstanding UUs.
See you in church!
