What is Workshop Rotation
Sunday School?
Children experience the biblical stories and theological concepts in multiple week unit workshops. Each unit is based on one story or concept and the goal is in-depth knowledge and nurturing of faith.
Children journey deeper in to the questions of "why" and "how." Workshop Rotation uses the spiritual gifts and talents of many adult members, rather than a few. Teachers may sign up to teach workshops that would use their individual interests and gifts.
Our grandparents, who can't bring the children every Sunday, have found that each child fits quickly into the creative, high adult ratio workshops.
Some of First Church's
multi-dimensional learning
workshops are: Storytelling, Bible Skills, Art, Cooking, Music and Movement, Drama,
Science and Computer.
We
remember:
10% of what we read,
20% of what we hear,
70% of what we say,
90% of what we say and do — and
90+% of what we experience.
Experiencing the lessons of the Christian
faith through different learning modalities, which educational specialists
call "multi-intelligences" or "multi-dimensional learning," results
in better retention of knowledge.
