1st-3rd Grade, Our Whole Lives
Room 33, Yellow Hallway
Laura S and Irene C are leading Session 5, How Babies Begin, and Session 6, Pregnancy and Birth. These sessions review how babies begin, the scientific and biological components of reproduction, and different ways babies are born. Homeinks for home discussion are below. The Parent Guide for Grades K-1, found online here, is the companion resource for this class. After each class, teachers send home a Homelinks sheet with information and suggestions for conversations to have at home. These are the Homelinks for past classes:
Children in 3rd grade and younger must be picked up in their classrooms. Please do so right after worship so RE leaders can go to other activities.
4th-5th Grade Class, Toolbox of Faith
Room 41, Green Hallway
Laura G and Nicholas A are leading session 5, Reflection (Mirror). The mirror symbolizes reflection. There are opportunities to explore physical reflection and to consider the tool of reflection in our faith. Discussion may include when, where, and how we take the time to listen inside ourselves for a still, small voice. Some think of that small voice as our conscience; others experience it as the voice of God/Divine/Spirit of Life.
6th-7th Grade Class, Riddle & Mystery
Room 13, Red Hallway
Gail and Gus are leading session 14, Life as Mystery. Big Question: Can we ever solve life's mystery? This is another question which may prompt a quick "no." The session invites youth to revisit a few Big Questions and to consider the big questions most important in their own lives.
