CGS is a hand on learning experience. It is led by Lynette Wheeler, and is for those age 3 through kindergarten. This model of formation is based on the Montessori educational theory of hands-on learning. The curriculum focuses on the Mass, scripture, and the liturgical year. CGS helps students better understand and appreciate the Mass through instruction and hands on experiences. CGS allows students to pick what they want to work with and learn about at each session. It allows students to grow and learn at their individual level and based on their interest. This group meets in the St. John, Fort Atkinson, rectory basement on Sunday mornings from October through April or May for 1.5 hours each session. Generally class follows the St. John 8:30 Mass.
CGS Atrium is the learning area for students. To the right are some pictures of the Atrium |
