THIS MORNING’S CHURCH SCHOOL:
Pre-K through Gr 2 – Science – Laurie Trudeau – Center Classroom
Grades 3/4/5 – Cooking Rotation – Cheri Swenson - Kitchen
Grades 6/7/8 – Storytelling – Brittany LaFleur & Emily John – End Classroom

The church school is wrapping up our “In The Manger” rotations this morning. Over the past three weeks, the children have been exploring the significance of the Messiah’s coming, as a baby born in a humble place. Visit our Storytelling room (end classroom) this morning to get a glimpse of the Babe in the manger. This room was beautifully decorated by Brittany LaFleur and Emily John.
In the Science rotation we explored the animals present at Jesus’ birth, and talked about how God wants us to care for and protect our animal friends. In this rotation we prepared pinecone suet/seed feeders. In the kitchen, the children created various types of delicious cookies and edible mangers with Cheri! Thank you Laurie Trudeau, Emily John, Brittany LaFleur, Cheri Swenson, Ellen Boylan and Kassi Miller for your leadership during this rotation!
