Royalty - Chapel Connection

We are kicking off our brand new series in The Dream Factory called "Royalty." The children will be studying Philippians and learning what it means to be God's children: Princes and Princesses! This series will challenge and encourage your child to reach their God-potential by learning how to live like Royalty. We are so excited to see what God is going to do in all of the students during the next couple weeks as we all begin to live like Royalty!

Today, we are going to begin with a lesson about being children of the King, what that means and how we should live as God's children. Our goal is to partner with your family by providing an opportunity to have a conversation with your child about The Dream Factory and what we are studying. A purple paper will be going home today that has notes from today's teaching. Included are Bible verses, main points, and questions for your child to answer based on the teaching. We encourage you to talk with your child about what they learned and how they can apply it to their lives. Don't miss out on the opportunity to help your child grow in Christ!

Check your email, and your child's book bag for The Dream Factory Home Connection.
After you have discussed the verses and questions with your child, share your comments here on this blog site!

Junior Scientist @ FRCA

Ms. Sandy did an amazing job putting together a wonderful Science
Experiment Lab for our prescoolers! Colors, textures, bugs and stars.
We learned about nature near, and far. Thank you Ms. Sandy!

100th DAY!

You experienced quite a treat this morning if you were around FRCA! Students with all kinds of crazy outfits, and uniforms decorated like something out of Dr. Seuss. With all the "100 year olds" walking with canes, you would think it was Grandparent's Academy! Teachers even got into the act with "colorful" clothing combinations, white hair, curlers and glasses. Nicki Sprecklemeier was the 100th student to arrive at school. He received balloons and some sweet gifts.

FRCA Service Club has been collecting "100 Pennies For Haiti" from students. Over the last two weeks, FRCA students filled water bottles with "100 Pennies". The money collected is being donated to Feed My Starving Children, the same organization that we made meals for Haiti with. Based on early estimates, our students will raise well over $250 for Haiti. We are proud of our students and families positive attitude of service.

Fun was had by all. Thank you for celebrating the 100th Day of school with us.

What A COOL Week!

Yes, actually so cool we nearly froze here in South Florida! While it was pretty cold, the weather forecasters made us feel kind of wimpy. With temp's in the mid-30's, they were talking about wind chill in the 20's. I didn't ever think about the "wind chill factor" kicking in until it was well below freezing. And I am not sure "wind chill" should be a recognized term in South Florida! Is it really right for South Floridians to discuss the impending doom of "wind chill", when other states are hitting sub-zero temps? Hmm, interesting. When we have hurricane force winds, do the reporters say, "It is 80 degrees today, but with the 100mph winds, the "wind chill" is 68 degrees."?

So the question I pose to FRCA students and parents is: When is it acceptable to use the term 'wind chill'? Is there a temperature point, or maybe a temperature differential?

FRCA students and teachers had an 'Arctic' blast with the cold weather. Many classes enjoyed snow days filled with hot chocolate, 'snow writing', and lessons about snow flakes....have you ever pondered the snowflake? How God designed each beautiful, glistening flake as a unique piece of art. How mighty our Creator, not one single flake is the same as another! Just like God created you and me, and every other person; we are unique and special in our design. We each have unique characteristics, for which God has a special and unique life-plan! Wow!

Search the web, ask your teacher, find the answer to the question: When is it acceptable to use the term 'wind chill'? Is there a temperature point, or maybe a temperature differential?

Popsicles to the first class that gives Mr. Hewlett the answer and the verifiable resource used. Post your answer here!
