Nursery
Lots of playtime and giggle time, not many tears as the babies and toddlers are getting used to being at FSC on Sunday mornings.



3 Year Olds
Our little friends made beautiful flowers to take home; were engaged in a great story and and made new friends.


Pre-K
We had a good discussion about friendship. We role-played a bit about what one could do to help someone feel welcome. The children each made a place mat for a friend in the room. They really appeared to enjoy seeing others enjoying the mat they each designed.


Kindergarten
We had a really calm and large group today. They listened well at circle time as we brought up the fact that there are many different religious traditions around the world and many different ways people practice and celebrate their beliefs. Also we reminded them that Islam is the religion that Muslim people follow (the word Islam means "peace") and there are some interesting traditions that are unique to them - such as using a prayer rug for praying during the day, going to a Mosque for worship. A few questions and observations followed, then Michelle read a story about how families celebrate Ramadan. We did "Roses and Thorns" and the kids were invited to work on one or more crafts/coloring sheets having to do with Islam. They finished up with a snack just in time as parents came for pick-up.
