Family Bake Sale is in full force!
If you have any goodies you would like to bring to the bake sale please let me know ASAP! I will be bringing my famous german chocolate cake, it will be delicious. The annual bake sale is so much fun and a great way to earn the last of our kids camp funds. If you don't want to bring a dessert, bring your pocket book and be ready to give! The kids will be the servers for our yummy dirt pudding along with our slime juice. YUM! Be ready to have a great time.
WE ARE SO CLOSE TO OUR GOAL!

Benefits of Technology
Hello all!
I know I continue to talk about all of these articles over technology but this is the last one, I promise! This one I believe sums up all of the articles by showing all of the benefits of technology in a classroom. It has enhanced test scores, hands on learning, self esteem, and much more. Technology really have become beneficial for a classroom, all schools in America have internet access in some way. The benefits keep growing as technology is enhancing and it just makes me excited!
In our classroom I love using technology anywhere I get the chance. In the future I would love to get iPads or desktop computers to help even more with bringing technology into the classroom. This is all so exciting and I'm looking forward to this journey. Please read the article and let me know what you think!

You read the title correctly, the church will be holding a garage sale! All proceeds will go towards the Children's Ministry and getting the kids to church camp. But first let me ask you a few questions:
- Do you have a cluttered house?
- Are there things you don't use in your home that someone else might?
- Are there things you haven't touched in years?
- Do you love the Children's Ministry?
- Do you wish for a successful church camp experience for your child?
If you said yes to any of these questions...please donate to the sale! We will take anything you give and will find a place for it. The garage sale will be April 5th starting at 8:00AM. If you would like to volunteer your time please let me know ASAP so I can make a volunteer list. Thank you so much for all that you do and your servants heart!

Learning Vocabulary With Technology
Hello all,
With technology booming and slowly becoming the newest form of successful teaching, theres no wonder that I came across an article that really spoke to me on how to integrate technology even more in the classroom. This time specifically in the vocabulary department. Vocabulary is a awesome tool in Children's Ministry. The more vocabulary words learned, the more knowledge you learn through scripture. This article has multiple ways you can use it in the classroom like virtual graphs, vocabulary games, and increasing reading volume to enhance learning.
All of these sound like great ideas that I would love to bring into our classroom. Like always though, I want to know your thoughts! My classroom is open to all opinions, I'm always trying to find ways to help better you child's understanding of God and His love. We can bring in some on these pieces of technology and try them out for our classroom.

Budget Meeting
Hello all,
Doesn't the words "budget meeting" just bring a smile to your face? Oh, just teasing. But it is most definitely needed. After the Valentines Banquet and the upcoming garage sale, the children's ministry has been completely blessed with support. All glory to God! But I would love a meeting with the parents to go over this years budget so you can see hands on where your money is going. The scheduled date is March 31st, please plan to attend. There will be childcare services during the meeting and the best part...PIZZA! Cant wait to see you all there.

Flipped Learning
Hello all!
I ran across this really interesting article and I would love your feedback. There is a new style of teaching going around called "Flipped Learning", its basically where a teacher makes a video that the student will watch prior to class, then when you get to class you have more of a hands on approach. Basically your class time is spent doing the things you teach rather than using the time to teach. What are your thoughts?
I think it has great potential but not necessarily for a Sunday School classroom, at least not every Sunday. Your children already have so much work to do in school, could you imagine me giving you more work before church? It really sounds like a great way for hands on learners to learn but maybe not for the logistical learners or the ones that need the one on one time with the teacher. I will leave the link for the article below, let me know your opinions this Sunday!

Valentines Banquet
Hello all, thanks for stopping by!
This year for a fundraiser we are going to be doing a Valentines Day Banquet. The students will be serving the adults during a romantic fireside dinner at Mrs. Sherries house. (Details will be given in news letter) It will be a lot of fun so please make sure that your child attends! All proceeds will be going towards our summer camp at Minnetonka Christian Camp. So if you are worried about how you will be able to afford your kiddos going, then let them serve at the Banquet! All details are still in the works so there will be an addition blog once those are finalized.
Looking forward to an amazing time in the Lords house!
Love always,
Ms. Grace
