{Elementary} What's My Kid Learning!?

Ever wonder what curriculum we are using for kids K-5th grade?  Well, wonder no more. We use a curriculum called 252 Basics. We consider it more of a strategy than a curriculum. It's all a part of this think we call THINKING ORANGE. But I digress.

What is it?
Elementary-age kids are in a constant state of discovery. Think about all the different things they are trying for the first time and what they’re learning every day, even how to make (and keep) friends.

How can we tap into the way kids are naturally wired to discover‚ so they can begin to experience for themselves who God is, how He sees them and how much He loves them?


How can we show them God’s big story and help them discover the active part they can play in this life-long adventure, to be more like Him?


252 BASICS curriculum and resources PROVOKE DISCOVERY, inviting kids to live out their new understanding of how to grow in relationship with God and with others.


Thinking Orange PROVOKES DISCOVERY in the heart of a child.

Here is an overview or the Big Picture of what we are teaching your kids using 252 Basics:
