TheCoffeeChick Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Here is a free Bible curriculum for preschool to 8th grade. It goes through the old and new testaments. We've used the pre-k through 2nd/3rd grade and enjoyed it. It is simple and free. http://clclutheran.org/godshand.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Thank you so much! I'm still checking the resource out. I need to get off my iPad and onto my netbook to really see what is what, but I did manage to view one of the lessons and was excited to see a hymn for the lesson and a nice picture. I'll write more when I can see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annlaura Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Thank you! I, too, need to get to my real computer to read more. But so far this looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The curriculum is 3,000 pages long! Seriously 3,000 free pages! Multiple levels all based on the same scriptures, so it's perfect for homeschooling multiple ages. It's a very impressive undertaking. The hymnal used is TLH The Lutheran Hymnal which seems to have some free online resources and I think has a 1941 copyright. The lower levels are more crafty. The upper levels are more studious. The teacher notes are extensive. It looks to me to be about an intensive 4 year curriculum, when I compare the lessons to Students of the Word (6 years) and Bible Study Guide For All Ages (4 years). I've spent hours tonight downloading and reading the curriculum and looking for hymnal resources. So far everything looks excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poke Salad Annie Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Sorry I haven't posted earlier. I like it as well. I've been using the Padfield guides, but I think we may put those aside for another year and try this. Thank you very much for the link!

annlaura Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Wow. The quality of materials here is truly impressive. Did everyone see the maps?! Some of the coloring pages rival Dover. I have only read through a bunch of the pre-school level lessons, but they are just what I've been looking for. Not dumbed down or patronizing at all. Simple, straightforward, thorough. Thank you again for sharing this! It's just wonderful. I've been all through the Thrivent and Concordia PH sites searching for something like this, but I never would have found this had you not posted. Peace and blessings!

TheCoffeeChick Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) I'm glad some of you enjoy it! We really like it. And it's free - what's not to love? :tongue_smilie:As it gets into the older grades there is some outlining assignments - so *I* think it meshes well with WTM.

mom2jjka Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 This is incredible! ~ Thank you SO much! As a Lutheran, I often have a hard time with other Bible curricula not lining up with our doctrine/beliefs. This may be just what I was looking for!

mom2jjka Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 not to hijack the thread -- but --- Dad is Lutheran (i did not grow in that church) what problems do you generally run into -- Hmmmm... it's hard to explain without going into a lot of detail - LOL. Much of the Bible curricula I have encountered is put out by Baptist/Anabaptist/non-denom or even Reformed or Catholic churches - Lutherans have very distinct doctrinal differences from all of the above. Among other things....We differ in our beliefs on baptism, communion, and end times/the rapture, (Lutherns are traditionally amillenialists.) We also run into problems with the phrase 'accepting Jesus as our Savior' as we believe that makes it sound like we can play a part in our salvation -whereas Lutherans believe it is completely the work of the Holy Spirit. Also, there are major differences between the teachings of the different Lutheran synods. (ELCA, LMS, ELS, WELS) so I can't say that I speak for all Lutherans.
