Home Up P,1,3,5th K,2,4th Advent Extras

Our school year begins the 1st of August and Ends the 1st of May (or so). That is the first column of this sheet.  Then I list the Theme that I tried to tie each chapter to.  Some chapter lent themselves to this, some I stretched. The TM Activity column lists the grade (W for Who Am I - Kindergarten, 2 for 2nd grade, 4 for 4th grade) followed by a period.  It assumes you are looking at the chapter already listed in the previous columns.  Then the number that corresponds to that activity in the Teacher's Manual for that grade and chapter. Ex: 2.3 (2nd grade. and the 3rd activity in the Teacher's Manual for the chapter already given in the chart).  Clear as mud?  E-mail me with questions and I'll try to unconfuse you.  I select a bible theme for the week which I read out loud to all the kids during lunch (on a good week).  I also use CHC's 2nd grade lesson plans JUST as a religion supplement for First Communion Prep. The numbers listed in the CHC Supplement column are their numbers.
