We will explore how this development impacts behavior and learning and how we can use this knowledge to plan more effective programs. Participants will have an opportunity to create practical solutions and changes that will maximize physical development and improve behavior and learning in the classroom.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Educate the educator – Child Development 101
8. Theorist Jean Piaget suggested that children think differently
than adults and proposed a stage theory of cognitive
development. He was the first to note that children play an
active role in gaining knowledge of the world.
There are four stages in the development of the thinking
1) Birth to 2 yrs
2) 2 - 7 yrs
3) 7 – 10 yrs
4) 11 +
According to Piaget children cannot begin to think in abstract terms until
the 3rd stage, and they cannot actually achieve abstract thinking that is
useful and dependable until the last stage.
Avoiding teaching abstract Spiritist concepts too early
Jean Piaget
9. (February 27, 1861 - March 30,
1925) was an Austrian
philosopher, literary scholar,
architect, playwright, educator,
and social thinker. The founder of
"anthroposophy," he is well known
for its numerous practical
applications, including Waldorf

consistency to the program.

Religious Ritual
Repeated set of acts and

Therefore, educational rituals produce a calming
affect on children. This effect is more noticeable
on hyper-anxious children.
Goal: To bring togetherness and unity.
