Curriculum

Elementary Learners: Spirit Play

Kindergarten through fifth grade

Spirit Play, modeled partly on the Montessori method of learning, encourages children to ask questions of wonder. Stories from all traditions, including our own, introduces children to promises (principles) of Unitarian Universalism. To reinforce these, children have independent work time as part of the lesson. Fall 2013 classes focused on Unitarian Universalism and the principles. Spring 2014 classes will focus on other topics, such as world religions, service to the community and the world and the web of life (sustainability).
