Week 17 Highlights

We spent time quieting our hearts and redirecting our minds to celebrate the coming of Christ this week through some advent devotions. Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."- Matthew 11:28. I hope this season you were able to find rest and celebrate the true meaning in this season.

Such a wonderful celebration Tuesday night! These kiddos did an amazing job!

Thank you so much for the birthday gift card to Hawthorne Boutique! I'm looking forward to browsing the store :)

Week 15 Highlights

This week was an exciting one for three reasons! 

Our acts of kindness around Hudsonville Christian School. Everyone is looking forward to these this upcoming week.

Monday: We said Hello to five new people

Tuesday: We wrote words of inspiration on sticky notes and placed them on the bathroom mirrors around school. 

Wednesday: We created cards with Bible verses on them to spread to preschool buddies, siblings, or friends who needed to be lifted up. 

Thursday: We practiced saying "Thank you" each time someone showed kindness to us. 

Friday: We created Kindness Snowflakes and placed them on the connector windows near Mrs. Keller's office. 

Another exciting lesson from this past week was our trading day lesson. Students were invited to bring in old items from home that were under $5. They were able to experience what was SCARCE in their life as well as the OPPORTUNITY COST of the items that became their second choice.

The faith perspective in this lesson is that God has created us all to have gifts and talents. We get to use those to be a blessing to others! So if we traded a fur pelt back in the 1600's for beads, then our job in trade was to bring glory to God. Your child have so many gifts and we took time to praise God for them as we continue to less others with our gifts and talents.

Kenneth Kreagel and his book "Green Pants" was an awesome time on Thursday! He read his book to us and taught us all about the process of writing and illustrating. These children had so many good questions and enjoyed hearing from a published author!

Week 14 Highlights

One of the things that we go to each week is our prayer board! There have been many requests and we are seeing God's timing in our he answers them. This month I hope to help your child be encouraged to pray each day for someone or something new. They took home a prayer chain Friday that they can use each day leading up to Christmas. Challenge your child to pray by using the links!
