Past Lessons, Events, and Programs

August 3 – We Met Therapy Dogs!

FVUUF Members and Friends joined us with their therapy dogs to teach us what therapy dogs do, how they are trained, where they live, and many other tidbits.

July 27 – Transformation

Miss Jill led a couple of activities that deal with our value of TRANSFORMATION with lessons in growing (personally & physically)!  
We planted flowers in pots, and beans in bags so we can watch them grow in a window!

July 20 – Science Fun

This Sunday was an exciting day for science enthusiasts!! We welcomed real scientists from our Fellowship family as our Guest Stars to share the amazing wonders of our solar system and ocean life here on Earth. 

  • The 4K–1st graders had fun with astrophysicist and Fellowship raised kid Rose Williams, learning just how incredibly far apart the planets in our solar system are. Spoiler: it’s a really long way! 
  • For the 2nd–5th graders, scientists Beth and Bart DeStasio helped them discover the fascinating world of live coral. The kids got to see these busy, colorful animals up close in a tank filled with real coral specimens! 

It was a morning full of exploration of our UU Source of Science. It was an exciting day for both our children and adult volunteers who all took away something new that they learned.  

It was a fun morning full of exploring our UU Source of Science at the UU, and both our children and our adult helpers each learned something new to ponder about the Great Mystery!!

July 13 – Music Sunday

The kids in 4K-5th grade welcomed Guest Stars and violinists extraordinaire Matt Demers and Hollyn Shipps to our classrooms to explore making music in community. They experimented with non-traditionsl instruments such as a jug and washboard, and all joined in with a variety of instruments to create a one of a kind musical extravaganza!

July 6 – Smiling Face Pots

It’s summertime and we think of warm days and cool nights, blooming flowers, and the smell of cut grass.   It makes one smile!

And what better way to put it all together, than to make smiling flower pots with green growing out of the top for hair!

The kids did a great job with all of their clay pots.  Very creative with their faces and other colorful geometric designs. Some even had googly eyes that were different sizes.  Below are a few photos of our fun!
