1st Grade- Responsibility (Blessing Box)

1st graders are entering the “big kid” stage. The level of responsibility demanded between kindergarten and 1st grade is drastically different. These kids are riding buses, doing homework, carrying notes to and from home, etc. This is the year to help them understand what responsibility is and empower them to become a big kid by telling them all the ways they’re responsible.

2nd Grade- God's Word (Signed Bible)

Most kids are reading this year, so what better time to engage them in reading God’s love story! Reading opens up so many conversations and life experiences, and we want to help parents point children to the best book ever written and equip them in teaching their child HOW to read the Bible.

3rd Grade- Rhythm (Time Gift)

In talking with parents of 3rd graders, the constant theme of conversations was “life is just too busy right now. 3rd graders have begun to understand their talents and have jumped in full force to after school activities. Juggling school, ballet, soccer, piano, homework, chores, friends, church and family time is hard! This is the year to help children discover how to find rhythm in life and responsibilities.

4th Grade- Friendship 

Children in 4th grade are beginning to develop significant friendships. For the first time they may be telling their friends something they’re not telling their parents. How do we help parents navigate the process of coaching our children to choose the right friends, how do we make sure our child is being a good friend. This ROPE is designed to help parents have intentional conversations that will lead their child to be a good friend.

5th Grade- Identity 

As parents face that their child is getting ready to leave elementary school, fear can creep in. It’s clear that God doesn’t give us a spirit of fear, so how do we help parents embark on this new phase with boldness? The 5th grade ROPE will guide parents to help their child see WHO they are by inviting import- ant people in the child’s life to write a letter telling him/her WHO he/she is. Parents will take this a step farther by looking at the letters to discover an identity symbol that can be presented from the content. This RIte Of Passage Experience helps kids boldly carry on in life beginning to realize the INDIVIDUAL God has created him/her to be.

6th Grade- Preparing for Adolescence 

It’s time. You knew it was coming, but you had no idea how fast it would actually get here. I am talking about the day when your sweet baby actually grew up and is now beginning the pro- cess of changing into a young adult.
It’s time. It’s not time for fear of the future but of daring to lead your preteen into this new phase of their life. We as parents can’t let them stumble their way through. We have the great privilege of sharing with them who they are at this moment and what they can become in the future.
