These classes do not need names for the children to learn. the methods of teaching is much more important than the name given to each age group. Do not get hung up on frivulous details.

Here is what some churches are doing - not only the Heritage Baptist Church.

Some names used:
Joseph’s workshop, Martha and Mary’s Bed and Breakfast,
Holywood, Global Village, or Synagogue Shepherds

Heritage Baptist Church prides itself in offering a comprehensive Bible Study program. You will find our classes are divided into four major age groups.

Preschool | Children | Youth | Adults

Preschool
Infants/Toddlers
Two year olds
Three and Four year olds

From the moment a baby is born, we believe in nurturing that child in a loving, Christ-centered community of faith.

Children
Bible Blast is a creative Sunday morning education program for school-age children kindergarten through fifth grade. During the Sunday school hour, they meet together in a large group to learn a memory verse, sing songs, have a prayer time, and to give an offering. Then they are divided into age-appropriate groups, going into one of five classrooms:

Joseph’s workshop

Martha and Mary’s Bed and Breakfast

Holywood, Global Village, or Synagogue Shepherds

guide them through each morning’s experience where the children learn a Bible story and learn about the culture and customs of Bible times.

What is the Rotation Model?

The Workshop Rotation Model was first developed in the Chicago suburbs in the early 90’s by a number of Presbyterian churches seeking to solve some chronic Sunday school problems: boring curriculum, boring classrooms, bored kids, and low Bible literacy. They were also seeking to overhaul the children’s classrooms to make them kid-friendly. Out of these needs the Workshop Rotation Model was born. Three things set the model apart:

The Rotation Model reorganizes the way you teach, not what you teach. Various rotation schedules have been used in VBS for decades. The purpose of the different workshops or centers is to allow children to use different ways of learning, rather than only pencil, worksheet, and book methods.
Kids rotate by class to a different workshop for 4-5 weeks. During that time, the story they learn is the same in each workshop. Kids love repetition and need it to remember their lessons.
The workshop teachers stay put. They teach the same lesson to a different age group of kids each week, cutting down on preparation time. Adult leaders called Shepherds move with the children each week and form close relationships with the children by keeping up with them between sessions.
Once a rotation is completed, each child will have experienced the story by using all of his or her senses. This will help them to retain the faith story in their hearts and minds. Educators know that we retain only 30% of what we see and hear, but 90% of what we say and do, and 100% of what we experience.

Youth
Middle School, 6th-8th grades
High School, 9th-12th grades

Middle and high school youth gather together to fellowship, share prayer requests, and announcements before splitting into two groups for Bible Study. Both groups use Seasons of the Spirit curriculum. The middle school sessions include group activities, discussions, and activities that deal with relevant concerns. Participation in local and global ministries are incorporated as well as the use of the arts. High school sessions utilize a variety of learning styles with ways to serve locally and globally to aid this age group in their questions of faith and beliefs.

one million) Dinosaurs are not stated interior the Bible. you realize approximately them from Evolution. Evolution is a fact and in being so Adam and Eve ought to no longer have existed. 2) They weren't first.
