Parent Time

Hope that everyone was able to stay safe yesterday during all of the snow :)! This week your children learned more about Honor during KidZone. The bottom line was: Honor those who are over you.

Take some time this week to talk to your child(ren) about the people in their lives who are over them (teachers, parents, coaches, etc). Have your child(ren) pick one of those people and send them a letter this week thanking them for what they do.

This is one way for your child(ren) to see the importance of those who are placed over us, and how they can encourage them for what they do.

Let me know how it goes!

Parent Time

Each week your children bring home a Fridge Door card and a Godtime booklet. These are tools to help you see what your children are learning and they have activities for you to do throughout the week with your children. This week I loved the questions on the Fridge Door card, that is my challenge for you this week. Sometime during the natural rhythm of your day take the time to talk about these questions with your children:

Parents ask your children:
What could result we make it a habit to honor others and not just ourselves?

Kids ask your parents:
How do you typically show honor for others?

Have fun!

Snow Day!

Good morning! I am so excited about the snow today :), I am sure that your kids are as well. If you are home with your kids today, take some time this afternoon and shovel a neighbor's driveway that hasn't been done yet. It is a way to show your neighbor that they are cared about and loved. Have a great day!

Good afternoon! I hope that you will be able to enjoy the snow today and tomorrow! This past Sunday we introduced a new virtue with your children. The new virtue of the month is: Honor - letting someone know you see how valuable they really are.

The story was all about David and Goliath and how David was overlooked but God used him in a huge way. This week Shannon, our large group teacher, challenged the kids to look for someone during the week who is overlooked and share God's love with them. This can be through a conversation, inviting them to eat lunch or play a game with them, writing them a card, etc.

Talk with your kids this week about people who are overlooked and figure out a way to honor them, to show them how valuable they really are.

Have a great week!

This past week was our last week on Discipline. Your children learned that if you want to know God better, make Him more important than anything. We talked about different ways to make God important in our lives - through giving, serving, praising, and reading His Word.

I want to challenge you this week to do the activity on Day 2 of your child's Godtime Card. With your child write a descriptive word for God on a sheet of paper and decorate it together. Then hang it on the fridge or somewhere you all will see it for the week.

Have fun being creative!
