  • God took all of the bad things in Joseph's life and used them for the good of Joseph and the good of all the people.  Through Joseph being sold into slavery in Egypt, God saved thousands from famine.  Joseph was given the opportunity to shine for his amazing God to the Egyptians.  The Lord worked through the results of sin to create glorious results.  We can watch our lives and see how God's hand is with us.  How he takes a situation we can't figure out and shows us how He can make it work out.  May we trust in the Lord just as Joseph did!
  • Thank you to all of our chaperones that helped make this special day possible!  Watch for Kaymbu this afternoon for pictures of our exciting learning!
  • 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 began learning some new skills in phy ed!  At the beginning of the year, we focus on all the different motions are body makes.  This week we worked on controlled walking and running within our "neighborhoods."
  • We focused on letter learning this week!  Each small group either played Letter BINGO or Letter sorting.  We are working on beginning sounds, matching sounds to letter name, and recognition of the letter form.
  • Here is a great devotion that we read in our faculty devotion the other morning and I thought of you all!  Take a read and let me know what you think!  

  • We are searching for book readers 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!
