Publisher's Description of Homeschool Grade 1 Bible Curriculum
What a thrill to hear little ones pledge the flag, sing hymns and choruses, pray, recite Scripture and doctrinal truths, and eagerly listen to God’s Word! With these easy-to-use lesson plans, you can love teaching Bible as much as your child enjoys participating in Bible class. Includes a scope and sequence that gives you a quick course overview, tips for teaching Bible and leading a child to Christ, “Who Am I?” Bible trivia questions, doctrinal drill questions, and lesson plans for 170 days. Each lesson maps out the specifics for each component of the lesson, including the time it should take and which songs to sing, verses to recite, doctrinal questions to answer, and Flash-a-Card series to teach. This organization will assist you in making the most of this all-important class.
The Abeka Bible Grade 1 will closely follow the K5 stories
utilizing the twelve (12) Flash-a-Card® sets. Students will enjoy the narrative
approach to Bible stories about Jesus, creation, Old Testament patriarchs, and
the life of Paul. Students will dig a little deeper in their understanding and
comprehension of these Bible stories. Lesson guides are included with each set
of cards with detailed prompts. The First Grade Bible Curriculum guide
details the Scope and Sequence, memory verses, and lesson plans. This is the
resource to help teachers plan their Bible studies for the year. The kit will
include the Sing unto the Lord 1 CD to teach 63 biblically-based songs
and hymns, aiding understanding of Jesus’ love through the power of song. Correlating
with the Bible 1 program, (but also feasible to use independently), is the Bible
Friends Activity Book. Filled with pages of colorful activities, character
traits, and bible stories, students will be interacting with their Bible
knowledge throughout. If you are moving into the Abeka Bible Grade 1 from K5,
you simply need to add the Life of Paul Series 1(083312) to your Flash-a-Card®
sets, the First Grade Bible Curriculum guide (022192), and the Sing unto the
Lord CD (044041).
