Experiences
with the Web of Life is
a curriculum where children explore the ways that specific living
things relate to the rest of life -- what the earthworm eats, what
eats it, what it contributes to the soil, how that helps plants and
helps us grow food in that soil. Concepts come to life through
direct experience. Throughout the curriculum, our spiritual
connection with all living things is brought out. A closing ritual
at the end of each session helps the children internalize their
learning, sometimes with a story that summarizes the day's
experience.

Free
to Believe explores
Unitarian Universalist principles and sources while nurturing the
emotional, social, and spiritual life of children. Its first

hands-on activities, stories, games, songs and discussions. Children
address the conflicts they often face, and create an accepting
classroom community. Later sessions focus on life's big questions
(about God, death, the creation of life) through the lens of UU
sources.

Club using

more.
