Reply to "Middle Schoolers, Junior Highs in Rotation?"

We have experimented with some rotational aspects this year with our middle-schoolers (6th, 7th and 8th). The 6th graders, who are comming out of our elementary rotation program love it. The older kids did not have rotation sunday school in the elementary years. They had a harder time adjusting.

We have about 25 regular attenders. We have tried breaking the group up into 3 grade levels, 2 mixed ages groups, with certain personalities intentionally split up, and one large group, rotating through workshops week by week. We haven't fully decided which system works best for us, but we are limited by space and teachers. Once the older kids got on board with the idea, it became easier to keep them all together. Before behavior problems prevented this. That says something about how they like rotation.

We have tried middle school age curriculum from Firelight, with mixed results. Special thanks to Kirk of Kildaire who so generously publishes their curriculum on their web site. It always goes over well.
