SUPPLIES
Each room is supplied with basic items needed on most weeks: chalice, stones and vessels for sharing time, pencils, markers, scissors, tape and glue and paper.  Often, the lesson plan calls for other craft items and sometimes wacky tools or other things.  We probably have what you need in the supply closets (There are 5!)

What do we have and Where to find it? Check the list

If you notice we are out of something let Halcyon or the RE Committee know.  We will reimburse you if you have to buy something, so save the receipt!

BOOKS
Many lesson plans have a story.  All the Tapestry of Faith lessons include the story, yea!  If you are looking for another story, check the Channing Library. (here's the link to the catalog online!)
Your public library has most of the suggested stories, but it takes at least a week -usually more- to get them on inter-library loan, so don't wait to order them. 

Classroom Harmony
Creating and regularly referring to a class covenant is an essential part of maintaining right relationship in your class.  (This section is under construction-See Halcyon for more info.)
