101 Lessons in Scripture Full Church School Curriculum (4-5 yrs)
In conjunction with Elissa Bjeletich Davis, Sh. Ina O'Dell, and Fr. Gabriel McHugh, St. Spyridon has been developing a multi-year Church School Curriculum. These lessons are tailored for ages approximately 6-18, and can be utilized for separate adult Catechism as well. Using approximately 20-25 Lessons per year, the curriculum will take between four to five years to complete in its entirety.
Each Lesson in the 101 Lessons includes a "family handout" summary page, to help parents interact with their children and follow up, or to be used as an adult catechism guide. Each Lesson also includes three separate teacher guided expansions for three general age groups. These teacher expansions contain a core question, and are question-based Biblical lessons that encourage hands-on and object-lesson learning. They will require some preparation from your teachers to ensure the object lesson or hands-on component is developed and successful for their particular class, but in general require little "extra" volunteer time and prep work.
