“Harvest” was the theme for 1st Explorers last week. The children heard the story of Ruth and her courage in going to Boaz’s fields to harvest barley to kick off the week. They enjoyed a nature walk to Bicentennial Park, collecting items along the way to fill their egg cartons (thanks again for the cartons!).
The children are enjoying watching their herb gardens grow and keeping them in sunlight and watered well. Thanks to Emily and Mike Taylor for help with this project.
On Thursday, Curtis Collins from the Jackson County Department of Public Health, met with the boys to talk about strategies for dealing with anger and “bad” days. He returned on Friday to lead all the 1st Explorers in yoga—a great stress reliever.
Thank you to church volunteers Gaye Buchanan and Charlie White for help with check-in and check-out at the end of the week!
