Growth Groups:
Bible Club, Practical Living and Read-Aloud
are rotated through the week.
(1) Bible
Club–Bible
Club takes place one day each week. Our
experiential and interactive Bible Club is
used to teach character development and
Biblical morals.
(2) Read
Aloud
This is a time when the kids can relax
and hear a good story. Stories are what
make up our life and they are used to
inspire and teach. Classic stories are
taken from William J. Bennett's The Book
of Virtues, and they provide topics for
group discussion.
(3) Practical Living–A time in which
various life skills are taught. This gives
students time for hands-on learning in the
area of practical skills, such as making a
budget, growing a plant, personal hygiene,
and eating healthy. |
Homework Help:
Each afternoon the kids will bring their
homework from school and it is during this
time that the staff and volunteers help them
complete their current assignments. Homework
is checked for accuracy and completeness. |
Tutoring: Tutoring
takes place each day and is a time to do assessments
and to work on the areas in which the child needs
the most academic help. |
Family Time:
Each day's session ends with gathering
together for Family Time. This is a time
for announcements and a short, fast-paced
activity to send the staff, youth, and
volunteers from the Center on a positive
note. |
Snack Time:
Each afternoon
a snack is provided for students when they
arrive. This is an informal time for
the staff and volunteers to sit with the
kids and talk about their day. |
Recreation:
Each
day the kids participate in some form of
recreation. On most occasions this activity
is a learning-game and is tied to the theme
of the month. Students are able to relax,
have fun, and still tie in their recreation
to what they are learning about. |
