Hello all!
Are you as excited as I am for this years Vacation Bible School? We will be going on a jungle safari, hunting for Gods Word! This cannot be done without the help of my volunteers. So with that being said, if you haven't signed your name up to volunteer then don't you worry...its not to late. There is a sign up sheet at the back of the auditorium and on the back of every children classroom door. If you would like to join me and see the beauty of God's work shine through the hearts of children, don't hesitate! There is a job for everyone.
If you're still on the edge about what you're going to do, the least you can do is pray for an amazing week. I pray that every child finds Christ if they didn't already have a relationship with Him and that we can show the children how to be servants for Christ.
Please don't hesitate to call me if you have any questions!

Love Always,

Lets Catch Up!
So as you all (hopefully) know by now, the students have been learning all about the Fruit of the Spirit in Sunday School! We are wrapping up our series next week while we study what self-control is really all about. I believe that the students have really grasped the concept of what the fruit of the spirit is and how they can apply it to their own lives. Though this series is ending, I'm so excited to announce that we will be starting a new series over Joseph in two weeks! Yay! So please be drop your children off at Sunday School promptly at 8 AM Sunday morning so we can get the ball rolling on our new series. I love you all and thank you for letting me love your kids!
Love and blessings,
Ms. Grace
P.S. If your children haven't annoyed you enough with this song, I have attached the "Fruit of the Spirit" song below. ENJOY!

Hello all!
As technology is changing daily, I believe that the use of technology is now vital for this generation. It is time for my classroom to take a step in the right direction and integrate more technology usage. But first I will need the consent of all of you! I'm sure you might have a few questions so hopefully the following will cover everything:
For the safety of your child the church will provide:
- Limited access to all websites
- All passwords will be given to instructor
- Any applications or websites will be monitored for educational purposes
- All materials will have safety settings
- No cell phone usage in classroom unless given permission by instructor
Here are some ways you can assure safety for your child at home:
- Limited time on all technology
- Access to all passwords
- Parental controls on all websites/applications used by child
- Monitoring childs use of technology
- Find educational activities to do with child while on devices
Lets work together as we take another step with technology and use these simple steps to assure safety:
- Monitor ALL access to internet and technology
- Set times for access of technology
- Do activities with student to ensure they're doing the right thing
- Encourage child to talk about anything they may need help with while using technology
I have attached a consent form to this article for every parent to fill out per child. Please print out and return to me by Sunday, January 24th, 2016. If your child does not return the form, they will not be able to participate in any activities involving technology.

Technology Integration
Hello all! Thank you for stopping by for my most recent
update. I just read a really amazing article that is all about the history of
technology and I believe it is really beneficial for our classrooms today! You
may read it here:
After reading this I hope you see that our classroom is a
tiny bit behind on the technology train! I think the older generation might be
missing out on something amazing. Technology offers so many cool aspects to the
classroom, “It offers active
engagement, the opportunity to participate in groups, frequent interaction and
feedback, and connections to real-world contexts. Technology also expands what
students can learn by providing them with access to an ever-expanding store of
information.”[1]
Now I don’t want to just throw Ipads at your children and give them busy work
but I really believe after reading this article that we can step it up in the
technology realm.
As I reflect on everything I read I can’t help but to look
at our class and see where there is some work to be made. We use our computer
and soundboard for music and power points but what could we do better to get
the children engaged? I have a few tricks up my sleeve with an Ipad and I’m
excited to let the kiddos try it out this Sunday. Lets work together on some
ideas to really try to integrate technology into our classroom. I hope you have
an amazing day and thank you for stopping by. See you bright and early for
Sunday School at 8 am!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life
Love Always,
Ms. Grace
