Sneak Peek of Bible Learning Stations
I mentioned in my previous post that I am working on Bible Learning Stations for next week’s session. Here is a sneak peek of the newly completed first learning station: The Pentateuch. In addition to the Pentateuch display board, there is a fill-in sheet for the students to complete and a bookmark for them to place in their Bible to mark off the Pentateuch. More to come!

Hi Joe,
Like Constance, I’m teaching 6th grade this year, too (I’ve also taught 1st and 3rd thru 5th). I’m really happy I can “steal” such great ideas from you. Our Parish’s first session is this coming Monday. Thanks for sharing with us, Joe.
kate, you can’t steal if it’s being given away!
