Some REALLY important info we talked about this past Sunday morning!

A couple of us met this morning at around 9:15  am yesterday morning. I must say it was an encouragement to me to hear teachers talking about what they are learning and how they are growing as they teach/prepare their lessons.

Here are a couple of things we talked about from the TEACHER BOOK!

Parent Resources:
Please be sure to give out the weekly take home sheets.  If you find yourself forgetting,
staple them to the children's paper
have a helper pass them out.
There are some great family resources for families to use this year.  Please become familiar with
the format of the weekly sheet
the quarter guide we print out for families.  These can be found in the info rack by the check-in area.
the Family Devotional book published by Generations of Grace.  You can read more about it at http://ekidzministry.blogspot.com/2015/08/new-family-worship-resources-to-help.html

Church-wide Bible Memory Program:
We talked about the church wide Bible memory program, which you can read about at blog.emmanuelbaptist.com/biblememory

Spotlight on the Gospel:
This section in the Teacher Book provides great connection between the Gospel and each week's lesson.

Storyline (a story within a much bigger story):
In each of the lessons this story line connect the story you each teaching with the BIG STORY of the Bible.  We are going to see about getting this story line printed out for each classroom.

Pictures of the Story:
One other resource item we talked about was the one or two laminated color pictures you will have for your classroom each week.  We are also thinking of some ways to put these pictures up in the hallway so parents and visitors can see what we are doing in the classes each week.

While this time was AWESOME!  It would have been even better if you were there.

Please be sure to check your emails and this website to know about future opportunities like this.
