Our Elephant Room - 2nd graders at 9:45 (and Elephant & Kinder at 11:15) will be incorporating their memory verse into their large & whole group times. This month, they will also be singing the fun song, "Take Care of Me" to go with the first Big Idea, and repeating the song "Love God & Everybody Else" to go with the 2nd Big Idea.
Are you serving in the Giraffe room? You will not have a lesson at this time, but will be using the morning to help your toddlers learn how to "do" the classroom: sit & play at the table, have snack together, play in the play room, etc. We will slowly introduce coloring, crafts, etc., as the kids become more able to do them!

By 11:30, the kids should be back in Watering Hole and on the benches. After being led in large group, the kids will split up into small groups: 1st/2nd at the front of Watering Hole, 2nd/3rd in the middle by the rug/double doors, 3rd/4th in the back corner, and 5th in Zebra Room.
