This year, we are using the 6th Grade God With Us
Curriculum, but I have to supplement it to fit the needs of our younger
children as well. Here’s my lesson for Unit
1, lesson 1.
In this lesson, we are encouraging the children to grow
closer to God through prayer, the Sacraments, learning Church teaching, and our
families. The older children will receive
their text books for the first time, younger children will hear stories about the
Saints Constantine and Helen from the book A Child’s Paradise of Saints.
9:15 Gather for
prayer
9:20 Station One: I
will go over the lesson for the day, comparing how a plant needs air, water,
good soil, and sunshine to the needs we have as Christians o have prayer,
Sacraments, Church teaching, and our families.
These are the things that we and plants need to grow. Children will complete their worksheet to go
along with the lesson.
9:30 Station
Two: Children will plant flowers,
discussing the care that plants take to grow.
9:40 Station
Three: The oldest children will read
from their text book, starting on page two.
The younger children will hear stories about the Saints Constantine and
Helen from the book A Child’s Paradise of Saints.
9:50 We will gather all
the children back together for a lesson re-cap and final prayer. I will hand out the page for their binders as
well.
