6 The Story of Jesus’ People
To the Parent
This workbook includes activities for each chapter of The Story of Jesus’ People. These exercises have been designed to further the learning process by supplementing the material studied in the accompanying textbook. Each chapter offers games or activities that highlight an aspect of the historical account under study. These activities introduce children to the era, climate, culture, and geography of the people and countries mentioned in the textbook. They also offer children the opportunity to grasp and consider the differences between various periods of history and their own day.
Coloring pages have been included at the end of most workbook chapters. These can be completed in a child’s free time or can be given to the child to complete while he is listening to the corresponding textbook chapter being read aloud.
A recommended schedule and semester outline is provided for the completion of The Story of Jesus’ People. However, parents should feel free to alter this schedule as needed. Though designed to span the first year of grade school, some parents may choose to complete the material in a shorter or longer time. There is no right or wrong method of using this curriculum. Please adjust it as needed to suit your child.
8 The Story of Jesus’ People
Suggested Daily ScheduleThe following is a suggested lesson schedule spanning the first year of grade school
(36 weeks). This schedule is based on a school schedule in which history is studied two days per week, with each lesson taking roughly 10-15 minutes to complete. If a one-day-per-week history schedule is preferred, parents can assign the workbook exercises to be completed immediately following the reading of the corresponding chapter in the textbook. Parents should adjust this schedule as necessary to suit their family’s individual needs.
Two flex weeks have been incorporated into the school year, one falling at the end of the first semester and the other at the end of the school year. These weeks can be used to catch up on missed lessons, to further the historical material studied through field trips, etc., or to finish the material early.
