First Day School continues our theme of “How do we find peace?”\u00a0We have been learning about compost and have some composting experiments going on in jars in the FDS room.\u00a0 We hope to build a compost heap over against the trees beyond the garden, but first we have to learn about what materials to use.\u00a0 Our older children are doing Dungeons & Dragons two times a month hosted by Adam Hurley; since they have more D&D sessions, they will be coming up to Meeting for Worship when the younger children go up.\u00a0 While the older children play D&D, the younger children have lightly supervised Free Play under the care of non-parent adults, allowing parents and regular teachers to spend more time in worship upstairs.\u00a0 We will celebrate November birthdays and full moons.\u00a0 We will spend time with our “personal trees” and start a “nature weaving.”\u00a0 The “How do we find peace?” theme includes trying to make worship more meaningful for the children.\u00a0 Lee Miller came to talk to the children about what he does during Meeting for Worship and answered questions.\u00a0 We want to invite more adults from our meeting to briefly share with the children what makes worship meaningful to them.\u00a0 We have been learning the song “Teach Me to Stop and Listen” and we are teaching it to the adults.\u00a0 We continue to seek non-parent adults willing to spend one Sunday a month with the children.\u00a0 We have a wide age range, and our topics are not always so interesting for the youngest, so they need some supervision during play.\u00a0 All adults are welcome to attend our brief weekly planning sessions on Wed. evening at 7:30 on Zoom.\u00a0 Get in touch with Anne Anderson if you would like the Zoom link and to confirm the time and day.\u00a0 Please also get in touch if you would like to be added to the weekly FDS email with a description of what is coming up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
