Mrs.
Kosco's Atrium Web Page
August, 2010
The "Atrium" will
open on Tuesday, September 21, 2010. The
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori based
faith formation program for children ages 3 to 12 with a
central goal of helping children "fall in love with
God".
Sophia Cavalletti,
the founder of this program defines the Catechesis of
the Good Shepherd as the ABC's of Christianity.
The sacred space or
environment is called the "atrium". In the early
church the atrium was a place where the catechumens were
prepared. For the children too, the atrium is a
place of preparation for involvement in the large
worshipping community.
the hands-on
materials in the atrium have a close link to biblical
and liturgical sources. These materials have been
made by the Wednesday work crew, parents and me.
We meet in the
atrium on Tuesday. ELC thru third grade each meet
for 45 minutes.
If you would like to
share your time and talent in making materials (sewing,
woodworking, decorative painting, calligraphy, cutting)
please call or email me. These can be made at
home.
