Activities

An important part of any Preschool and Elementary class is to have activities inside and outside of the classroom. Each of the classes have the following:

Circle Time - calendar, weather, pledges and prayer

Academic Time - A Beka curriculum, manipulatives and games

Craft Time - making items to develop fine motor skills

Music Time - All classes attend music class once a week. The children have fun singing songs using motion and movement and playing instruments. We have a program at Christmas and at the end of the year. Each class also does music in their regular classes that go along with their curriculum.

Outdoor/Play Time - We have two playgrounds for the children to play on. One is geared toward the younger children and one for the older children. Weather permitting, the children will go outside each day. Otherwise, we have a large room they can play in. Fresh air and exercise are important to develop gross motor skills.

Story Time - practice listening skills.

Chapel - The students attend chapel every Wednesday. We take up "offering" of canned goods to put in the food pantry at the church. We learn pledges, sing songs and have bible stories. The children learn what it's like to sit in "big" church.

Library - The older classes go to the Fortson Public Library.

Field Trips - At this time due to Covid, we are holding off on sceduling any field trips. We will let you know if this changes. Normally, we do several field trips throughout the school year. Each age group has certain ones they do each year. Some of the places we go are Dauset Trails, Fire Station, Southern Belle Farms, Twin Oaks Fun Farm, etc. They have lots of fun! The Kindergarten/Elementary classes have some special field trips that are just for them, like The Georgia Aquarium, Zoo Atlanta, Center for Puppetry Arts, etc.

Special Days - We have several special days throughout the school year. Some of the days, like Grandparent's Day, Donuts for Dad and Mom's Tea, are to celebrate the special people in their lives. Other days, like Fire Safety Week and Community Helper Month, are to help the children learn hands on.
