Curriculum Pick: Bible

Grade 5

Wayfarers suggests a daily Bible reading, regular stories from a children’s story Bible, and the devotional Long Story Short. Meh. We tried LSS in a previous year and I didn’t love it.

I’m thinking of using the Episcopal Children’s Curriculum, which is available for free online. I’ve browsed through the different weeks and I’m impressed by the lessons, the activities, and especially the newspaper that features interviews with Bible characters. It’s a Sunday School curriculum so it’s meant to be taught all at once, but there are multiple activities to choose from, which lets me stretch the lessons out for at least a few days.

Grade 1

I’m not sure if I’ll use the Primary lessons from the same Episcopoal Children’s Curriculum for Harbour, or if I’ll just stick to reading Bible stories for now. I could even use the Pre-School/Primary Lessons and include Forest, but I like how the Primary and Intermediate lessons use the same Bible stories. I’m still undecided.

Pre-School

I figure if I can read Forest some Bible stories and teach him the rest of the words to My Lighthouse by Rend Collective, I’m good. Seriously, he’s the cutest little hipster-Christian ever. He just needs his own banjo and some facial hair.
