Each week will add to and integrate information previously learned. Descriptions are as follows:
1. Week One - June 4-June 8
IT BEGINS WITH CREATION
We give a great gift to our children when we share the story of creation with joy and celebration. Children will explore the concept of creation through experiencing the many wondrous miracles of God. Through hands-on activities and storytelling, children will be inspired to appreciate and preserve all the beautiful things God created. The creation story gives clear reasons why we should tend to the gardens of the earth and care for each other. This also addresses concepts of time and space.
2. Week Two- June 11-June 15
REJOICE IN RECYCLING
Because the environment is central to children’s health and development, it is a perfect time to teach children to respect the environment. Children will be introduced to things they can reduce to cut back on the amount of waste on things they use everyday; reuse an existing item to minimize waste, and recycle materials to create new materials. Science concepts of organic/inorganic will be introduced.
3. Week Three- June 25-June 29
REAPING WHAT WE SOW
Children will experience a joyful encounter with the natural world. They will have opportunities to experience different fruits, plants and vegetables that are abundant as a result of harvesting. Focus of activities explore planting, rooting, germination, and other aspects of growing. Tied in with activities that focus on acts of kindness and doing good deeds, children learn also that good deeds can result in healthy, positive consequences.
