On Sunday mornings, our Cool Disciples (our 1st – 6th graders) experience Rotation Model Sunday’s school, as they learn about Bible stories and concepts through kid-friendly multimedia workshops.
In March, we are studying the Parable of the Sower.
Read about our story in Mark 4:1-9.
Here is the schedule for the next three weeks…
| Date | Art 1 | Art 2 | Cooking | Newsroom | Games | Video |
| Room 212 | Room 211 | Pine Room | Room 215 | Room 204 | Social Hall | |
| 3/13 | 2nd grade | 5th grade | 3rd grade | 6th grade | 4th grade | 1st grade |
| 3/20 | 1st grade | 4th grade | 2nd grade | 5th grade | 6th grade | 3rd grade |
| 3/27 | 3rd grade | 6th grade | 1st grade | 4th grade | 5th grade | 2nd grade |
What’s happening in each workshop?
- We’ll be running two Art Workshops – one for younger students and one for older students. (This must mean we’re doing a really neat project!) Yep! Students will use clay in a unique way to create a “sowing scene” with which they can re-tell the story.
- In the Cooking Workshop we will continue our theme of using items in unusual ways; students will be playing with their food! They will listen to music and the story being re-told, and formulate a visual interpretation of the Parable of the Sower… using snack foods! (Some eating will be allowed.)
- In the Newsroom Workshop students will create (and videotape) ads selling products or services that might help us be more open to God’s Word. (Anyone need a Sunday-Morning-Bed-Launcher?)
- In the Games Workshop students will use their bodies (both to answer questions and to move as game pieces) on a life-sized game board. They’ll hear situations and decide which sort of soil applies.
- In the Video Workshop students will watch portions of the live-action video The Visual Bible: Matthew. They’ll also explore the meanings of the different soils by voing in a unique manner.
All sorts of curiosities happening this month! Don’t want to miss these workshops!
