How to Use These Lessons

The curriculum and activities are divided into grade levels:  primary—grades 1-2, intermediate— grades 3-4-5, and middle school— grades 6-7-8.  These materials are designed for use as  ‘drop-in’ units to supplement the regular religion curriculum. They can be used by one class or can be incorporated into the entire school religion program at a particular time of the year as a school-wide theme or event.

There are five lessons for each grade level.  Each lesson has activities for the teacher to choose from that will take about an hour each to complete. It is possible to complete the five lessons in two weeks, if the class chooses to work on the unit on a daily basis. The classroom teacher will need to determine the schedule for the individual class.  The activities are designed to work within the classroom schedule and are very flexible.  Each lesson may be completed in segments or as it works best within the classroom schedule.

This curriculum  includes many meaningful classroom activities and is designed to engage all types of learners and learning styles.  A desire of this curriculum is that all the learners will discover something inside themselves for the first time:  a love of the artistry of calligraphy, a greater interest in the Scriptures, or a curiosity about the monastic lifestyle. In addition, another goal of this curriculum is that through gaining knowledge about The Saint John’s Bible the learners will uncover the inspirational value of one’s life’s calling.
