We use the 252 Basics Orange Curriculum. They and we believe that every moment counts. "From the time a child is born until they graduate high school, you’ll have 940 weekends with them. If your child is in Kindergarten, you have 636 weekends left. If your child is in third grade, you have 468 left. When your child is in fifth grade, you have 364 left. It happens so fast. We want to help you capture the time you have."
Every lesson and resource we offer helps kids discover who Jesus is, and then shows them how to put their faith into practical action on a Tuesday morning when they’ve overslept or on a Friday afternoon when the teacher is playing favorites. 252 Basics is dedicated to helping children grow in wisdom, faith and friendship.
We want kids to MAKE WISE CHOICES.
BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS.
DEVELOP A DEEPER FAITH
LOVE GOD. LOVE OTHERS. BECOME INVOLVED (DIVE IN).
Gratitude sometimes feels like a lost art. Yet gratitude is an idea close to God’s heart. Think about all of the Bible stories where people gave thanks to God. The Israelites celebrated God with feasts and festivals. The writers of the Psalms wrote songs of praise to thank God for being faithful. Throughout this month, we hope kids will learn to be grateful for everything God has done: for the world God made, for the promises God has kept, and for the new life God offers the world through Jesus. When we remember all of these things, we can always be thankful.
We want to help your children learn about GRATITUDE That's why this month we are teaching them that Gratitude is letting others know you see how they've helped you.
