Children's Classes

Our Little Lamb classes are in the early childhood education wing. They consist of four classes which are theme based. Each class has 2-3 teachers.

Our Safari to the Son classes are in the elementary wing and are for 1st through 4th graders. This curriculum is an “expedition” built on the workshop rotation model of teaching. Six different workshops are destinations on the expedition. Since children learn through many different modalities, the workshops lend themselves to different approaches of learning the wonderful truth of God’s Word.

The 5 year - Kindergarten class has their own room with the same teachers who incorporate each of the “Safari to the Son” workshops over six weeks. This is to help these younger children to feel more secure and to have more stability.

Below is a brief explanation of the six workshops being used with Safari to the Son.

Storytelling - This workshop sets the foundation of the Bible facts from scripture.

Geography - The history of Bible events are brought to life in this workshop. Students study timelines, maps, and the culture of Bible events and places. They also use modern technology to see the “then and now” picture.

Music and Memory - This workshop stresses fun ways to remember facts through singing, sign language, and memory work.

Drama - The children re-enact the story or apply the concept using props and costumes or puppets. The children perform for their parents at the end of class on Wednesday night.

Games - The students move while playing games that reinforce the facts and concept taught in the Bible story.

Creation Station - This workshop uses art, cooking, science, and other hands-on activities to apply the Bible lesson being learned.

After six fun weeks of moving to the different workshops, the children have a broader, more complete understanding and application of the Bible.
