I don’t like the name; can I call it something else?

What is the standing order bookmark?
The Teacher Guides list each lessons, but no dates. The bookmark lists the date for each lesson. The teacher can store it in the Teacher’s Guide or tape it into the Quarter’s Kit. Because the curriculum operates on a 3-year cycle, new dates must be printed each year.
*The bookmark will not be sold as a stand-alone item. It will be included in the standing order each quarter.

What is different about the Alive in Jesus Beginner curriculum?
The Beginner program offers three new components:
The Sensory activity: Parents are encouraged to engage with their child at the sensory activity which is loosely focused on the theme of the quarter.
The Nature Box: The teacher creates a sense of “wonder and awe” with a beautifully decorated box. When it is opened, the teacher shows the children nature items and talks about our wonderful God who created each item n the box for us to enjoy.
The Story Time Bag: The whole Sabbath School program points to the Bible story. When it’s time for the BIble story the teacher has a fun bag with items that will be pulled out as the story is being told.
