RE Summer Sundays begin June 13
Summer Sundays activities for children will be pro- vided during the 10 to 11:00 service time. Care will be available for infants and toddlers in the Nursery and preschoolers through grade 6 will be welcomed for weekly worship, games, crafts and outdoor play.
Youth going into grade 6 and up are invited to apply as assistants for the summer activities. Please contact Alice Springer, DRE at 982-9674 ext. 11 if you are interested.
Registration for each church year begins in August. We ask all new families to fill out a family registration form. Returning families can usually review the previous year’s form then initial and date to confirm that the information is accurate.
Religious Education for Fall of 2010
Proposed Curriculum by Age Group
Each age group will have two teachers in the classroom each week. It is hoped that there will be at least two regular teachers per class so that they can rotate responsibilities. Parents are expected to assist on a rotating basis in RE class rooms (this can be in their children’s or in other classes.) Safety guidelines require two teachers/assistants in each classroom each week.
Nursery (infants through young toddlers) – cuddling, rocking and playing as appropriate for each child. One paid nursery attendant.
Preschool I (2’s and 3’s) – indoor and outdoor activities, stories, blocks, developmentally appropriate art, dress up and puppets.
Preschool II (4’s and pre-K) – Growing Times seasonal, family, UU principles themes with art, stories, games, songs and movement activities.
Spirit Play (K through grade 4) – Our UU stories, holidays, world community, science and nature, etc. Montessori based. This is a new approach for UUCSF in 2010. Activities include a core story followed by art and other extension activities that children choose.
Grade 5/6 – Bibleodeon is a great introduction to both the Hebrew and Christian Bibles with skits, stories, art, films and discussion.
