FAITH FOREST SUNDAY SCHOOL
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
 |
2007-2008 marks Trinity's
5th year using the Workshop Rotation Model for Sunday School. Trinity
Children in grades kindergarten through 5th grade attend Sunday
School in their very own Faith Forest. Here they learn the
Bible stories through different methods of teaching and
learning. (To learn more about rotation Sunday School,

Forest? or

BUG BYTES |
 |
|
|
| Our computer workshop is called Bug
Bytes. We currently have 10 computers on our own
network. In this workshop the children create projects such as
books, advent calendars, etc. or play educational computer games to
learn the bible story they are currently studying. |

|
TENT TALES |
 |
|
|
| In Tent Tales, the children
may participate in a dramatic story-telling activity,
helping to bring the story or topic to life.
Sometimes they may enjoy popcorn
while watching a movie that explains the Bible Story for the
rotation in a unique way. Following the movie, the class
engages in a thoughtful discussion with the teacher. The emphasis is
on using story-telling as a way of teaching about God. |

MYSTERY MOUNTAIN |
 |
|
|
Mystery
Mountain was new in 2006-2007. As the name suggests,
children will find something new each time they visit Mystery
Mountain. They may use a fun cooking project or a science
experiment to get hands-on with the rotation's topic. |

CABIN CREATIONS |
 |
|
|
Art is the focus of
Cabin
Creations. In this workshop our students learn Bible stories
by creating. They use a variety of mediums to engage in a very
creative learning process. Past lessons include: creating a frescoe, painting the "ceiling" while laying on their
backs to fully appreciate the labor of Michangleo's Sistine Ceiling,
and painting umbrellas with pairs of animals to remember the story
of Noah and his ark. The students have also worked with
scratchboard and clay. |

TREE HOUSE TRIVIA |
 |
|
|
The focal piece in our games/Bible skills
workshop, Tree House Trivia, is an actual tree house set to appear
as if it is nestled high in a tree among the clouds. In this
workshop students play a variety of games to help make the Bible
story come alive. They also play games to help them learn the
memory verse which inspires the story and lessons for each
rotation. This room is also equipped with its very own
"Wheel of Fortune". The children learn through
active play
in our Tree House Trivia Workshop. |
