I feel I am a better story teller for the experience. We are so grateful to Cheryl Goodnow for volunteering to be Materials Manager for Godly Play. Cheryl will coordinate the purchase and preparation of the many story-telling materials needed for our five classrooms each week. If you've ever wondered what to do with old Happy Meal toys and other small prizes, please consider donating them. My sister teaches 1st grade in rural Colorado, where she describes families with 10 children living in a single trailer.
Small prizes serve as anti-truant enticements as well as reading awards, etc.
We learn many important lessons from the Bible. Sometimes other stories teach us lessons as well. They create their own experiences and all we do is provide the tools. We encourage those who haven't, to come observe. Thanks to all who keep the children in their prayers.
