OK so the previous posts give u just a ‘flava’ of how I’m planning my lessons. I wanted to break it down into quarters for my readers (and myself)…as I mentioned before:

Quarter 1:
Creation unit

Quarter 2:
Moses-2 weeks

Jesus- 2 weeks(this layout is similar to Moses), ART-The Nativity by Girolamo dai Libri

Paul-1 week(this layout is similar to Moses), ART - early Christian symbols

The Bible in English-1 week (John Wycliffe) and/or William Tyndale,ART- Giotto and his contributions

Christopher Columbus-3 weeks- read his biography, ART - Leonardo da Vinci, GEO - Continent of Europe(Italy), rivers, lakes, etc.

I’m attempting to plan for 2 quarters…I’m taking a 2 week break between the 1st and 2nd quarter and prayerfully be able to fine tune any ‘gaps’ that I see in my plan.

Hopefully this will give u some ideas for writing your own. I still feel like I need more ideas but I know the more I get experienced at writing and teaching and assigning ‘activities’, especially writing activities, word studies, t-charts, web charts, etc. the easier it will become.

I look forward to starting. In the next week or so I”ll go to the library and get whaever resources I need. I’m excited!
