Grab and Go Boxes

Eleven of the twelve Sunday School grades I work with have a memory goal for the year. As I began my third year here a couple of months ago I realized that the teachers and shepherds are always looking for ideas about how to help their students master the goal(s) for the year.  I realized, I don't have to reinvent this wheel every year!  Since the big goals (Books of the Bible, Psalm 23 etc) are the same for each age level from year-to-year, I could put together a resource to be used over and over!  Yes, it took my 2+ years to come to that realization!  At any rate, the "Grab and Go" box was born.  I am a long way from completing them but I'm excited about the possibilities.  Since I'm taking a lengthy block of time to research activities for each specific memory goal, I'm able to include some creative ideas which will appeal to children with different learning styles.  I'll be sharing more about these boxes and the individual items within each of them over the coming weeks.

We, like you, had many of the supplies on hand so I didn't actually SPEND $157.89 but I wanted to show a good accounting in case anyone wanted to make any of the contents-or the whole box.  I showed this to the teacher last night and she was VERY excited!  I can't wait to hear what the children think after they get to use it!
