Thoreau (3rd-5th Grade)

Class ran a "Big Shoes" relay race.

January 29, 2012: More racing.

January 29, 2012: The
teachers even get into the act!

The 3rd-5th graders are using "Timeless Themes." They will be introduced to the religious literature which is central to our culture and to our heritage as Unitarian Universalists.

Becoming familiar with these Bible stories will help our children to better understand this heritage. Their setting, social customs, and scientific knowledge may seem outdated, but their vital core of beliefs and values continue to be important...love for one's neighbor, the prophetic imperative to speak out against injustice, respect for the beliefs of others, belief in a transcendent power, etc.
