Scripture: First Grade
School Year Objective
First Grade students will gain a greater familiarity with Biblical figures and memorize the 12 eras of salvation history.
Getting Started
Students will learn about the 12 periods of salvation history listed here.
Each month of the school year, choose one or two eras to cover, and re-introduce your students to a few of the Biblical figures and their stories. For example, in August you might start the year with a lesson on Early World figures, including Adam & Eve. In September, you might cover the Patriarch period, including figures such as Abraham, Joseph, and Jacob. In the same month you might include the Exodus period, introducing the story of Moses. As you progress through the year, the children will develop greater familiarity with the stories of the Bible and memorize the 12 periods of salvation history in relation to various well-known Biblical figures.
