  • Abraham is known as an example of faith in thr Bible. This we learned why. He waited and waited until he was 100 years old for God to keep His promise to give him a son. What joy and excitement when God did bless him with a son! Our promise from the Lord is Heaven! He has already saved us through His some Jesus. Now we wait for the rest of the promise, and we know God will take us to Heaven because He always keeps His promises!
  • We are excited to travel to the Police and Fire Stations on Thursday, October 10! Please return the permission slip as soon as possible.
  • We are so excited to have our students invite their grandparents or other special people in their lives to come and share a morning at Emanuel with us!  On Friday(yes Friday!! A special extra day!), October 18, students are encouraged to bring their grandparents to school with them for the morning.  Remember, this is a half day(7:40-11:30 am).  If students' grandparents are unable to attend, please feel free to invite other special people in their lives to attend.  We are thrilled at the opportunity to share the love of Jesus that fills Emanuel every day with grandparents and special guests!
  •  October Thrive Time Video  This month we will be learning about the amygdala in the brain.  This is the part of the brain that helps us to think critically.  It is fully developed by age 25-27.  It is like a muscle in that the more you use the more it develops.  A big take-away from this video that I gathered was the "how" to strengthen it. One example was giving choices and letting them live with it.  In the video, "Would you like long or short pajamas?"  When the child chooses long pajamas even when it is warm, the grown up says, "you'll be ok." The child is hot and then remembers she/he didn't like that.  A school example is "Would you like to have snack or continue to play?"  When the child is hungry after the time of snack expires, I have to say no.  The child learns to say yes to snack before time expires.  The biggest trick as the grown up is to allow the child to "suffer" the outcome of their decisions.  As long as we know they are safe either way, allow them to choose!
  • In movement time, we will begin learning some new skills in phy ed!  This new part of movement time will be incorporated for the first time this upcoming week!  At the beginning of the year, we focus on all the different motions are body makes.  
  • 3D pumpkins began to appear in the hallway! The children are working hard.  The 4Ks cut their strips of orange paper while the 3Ks have already cut strips.  The process is a series of directions, gluing, twirling, and taping.  Check them out!
  • Please consider being a book reader in the afternoon of Mondays or Wednesdays from 1:30-2:30!  We would love to have you join us at the snack table to assist with our snack and read us stories!  Reach out if you have interest!
