First Day School Calendar

November 3

• Teen Group (grades 6-12): Game Day
• Middle Group (grades PreK-5): Fruits of the Spirit – Joy: We’ll continue the monthly Quaker-based First Day class series on the Fruits of the Spirit. We will explore a different fruit, such as love, joy, or gentleness, each month and weave together quiet worship, song, coloring and crafts, group discussions and more all rooted in scripture and Quaker testimonies. This series focus will be on how these spiritual fruits can be cultivated in daily life to promote harmony, integrity, and service to others.
• Oakdale Nursery (Infant-PreK): Children enjoy toys, games, stories and play.

November 3

• Teen Group (grades 6-12): “Picking Up the Pieces”: Sometimes things don’t turn out the way we want. Sometimes they fall apart altogether. This week we’ll discuss stories of people who rebuild and reflect on what these stories can teach us about resilience and renewal in our own life and times.
• Middle Group (grades PreK-5): “I Am You”: A Book About Ubuntu: This week, we’ll read the wonderful children’s book by Refiloe Moahloli about Ubuntu. Then we’ll discuss ways we are connected to one another and how that shapes who we are. If we share something that we really want to keep for ourself, what happens? If we complain about doing our homework, what affect does that have? Weather permitting, we’ll take an outdoor walk while exploring these and other questions.
• Oakdale Nursery (Infant-PreK): Children enjoy toys, games, stories and play.
