The room is ready . . .

Today was the day that I put the finishing touches on our room and began to think about what we will do when we meet.  Before we start to learn, we will talk about procedures in the room and the 4 Agreements that I have posted.  What does it look and sound like to be accepting?  to cooperate?  to be respectful?  to have self-discipline?  You have been in school long enough to know what makes a peaceful class community and good learning environment . . . think about how we can make our 3rd grade Sunday school room a place you look forward to being a part of.

I smiled as I unpacked and placed your new Bibles on a shelf.    I remember when I received my Bible in third grade . . . I still have and treasure it!  We will begin to acquaint ourselves with these special books when we meet on September 14th.  What a great gift our congregation gives to their 3rd grade students!  Get ready to dive into some fun activities as we learn how to use God's Word to learn more about Him and the kind of people He calls us to be.  Be sure to check out the pictures on the right side of the page . . .

Giving Our Room Personality

After the 9:20 worship service, I began to transform a lower floor room into the new 3rd grade classroom.  The pictures under the heading "Sunday to Sunday" show how the room is beginning to take shape.  I want to make it a place you will enjoy and want to come each Sunday.  I look forward to seeing you soon.

Did you hear Pastor Matthew's message today?  Did you know that you are a child of God?  I wonder what he decided to call his cuddly bear?
