What do we call the special cup and plate we use in church?

First Grade
The first grade curriculum focuses on Bible stories from both the Old and New Testaments. First grade students begin their Bible Story project, a binder filled with weekly art projects about each story they learn.
Second Grade
The second grade curriculum provides greater detail about the Old Testament. Students begin their Jesse Tree wreath project. Each week they learn a different story from the Old Testament and create an ornament for their wreath based on the story. They will bring their completed wreaths home in time for Christmas.
Third Grade
The third grade curriculum provides greater detail about the New Testament. This week students personalize and decorate cloth book covers for the Bibles they will receive during Chapel service next Sunday, September 16th.
Fourth and Fifth Grades
Fourth and fifth grade students are separated into boy and girl classrooms. Using the “Witness” curriculum, students continue to study the Old and New Testaments in a way that applies lessons directly to their lives. Additionally, all students participate in monthly outreach projects. This week students start their Bible binders with dividers to categorize the different sections of the Bible. Each Sunday they will add a lesson to their binders.
