Encouraging the fruit to flourish
Session C
Presented By: Peggy Osborne
How can you see more Fruit of the Spirit in your classroom or home? Join us as we discuss various strategies for children to grow in kindness, peace, faithfulness and all the other fruit discussed in Galatians 5. Using these strategies can change the whole culture of your classroom!
1. The participants will be given the opportunity to learn language that will highlight and encourage the children to exhibit the fruit of the spirit.
2. The participants will be given the opportunity to think of ways to demonstrate and explain the abstract concepts of the nine fruits of the spirit.
3. The participants will be given the opportunity to learn ways to celebrate the fruit that shows up in their classroom as the children become more like Jesus.
Rooted in god’s word—what can i do to anchor the children in scripture?
Session D
Presented By: Peggy Osborne
The most important thing that we do in our classrooms or homes is to anchor our children in God's Word. How can we teach where they will remember? How can we use different strategies to capture their attention? We want them to be rooted firmly in God's foundation so that they can flourish as they grow!
1. The participants will be given the opportunity to see a model of how to start a Bible story that encourages the children to see the difference in fun stories in the classroom as opposed to the truth that is in God’s Word.
2. The participants will be given the opportunity to see various ways to bring scripture into different times of the day within the classroom.
3. The participants will be given the opportunity to see how to link the Bible stories to everyday conversation to enhance the children’s learning about the truth.
9-1-1! Emotions have been let loose in my classroom! What do I do? how can I help us all to flourish?
Session B
Presented By: Peggy Osborne
Did you know that scripture addresses emotions? Children and adults seem to stumble through this topic when there is great wisdom in God's Word! Let's get our kids rooted early in these important words and suggested strategies so that they can bloom in their relationships and can thrive even when the world does not go their way. (As an adult...I have benefitted from this study!)
1. The participants will be given the opportunity to link scripture with various emotions and to learn how to teach those scriptures to children’s early development.
2. The participants will be given the opportunity to see how various emotions are linked together as “cousins” such as anger and frustration.
3. The participants will be given the opportunity to understand the emotions that usually trigger a tantrum and what to do when it happens.
Talking to Tantrums…Why doesn’t it work?
Session A
Presented By: Peggy Osborne
You have tried and tried to intervene with children who tantrum or cry all through the day, but nothing works! Did you know that a child cannot "hear" you when they are so emotional? Join us as we talk about the various brain states that both you and the children experience every day and learn what to do to keep everyone in their thinking brain so they can learn!
1. The participants will be given the opportunity to learn the three primary brain states and what each state needs.
2. The participants will be given the opportunity to learn strategies to help children to move from the survival state to the thinking brain so that they may hear the teacher and learn.
3. The participants will be given the opportunity to learn strategies to prevent temper tantrums in the classroom.
