This week should focus the theme: In God, the Father, the Almighty.

This week, parents should review the following before teaching their children:

  • The essay “In God, the Father, the Almighty” on pages 242 - 243 of the Parent’s Guide.

  • Pages 26 - 38 of the Parent’s Guide.

  • Pages 14 - 33 of the Activity Book.

Here are some tips and reminders before you get started:

  • You are welcome to teach any content from the month that you find engaging and interesting from the books!

  • While the following recommendations are broken up by grade level, we would encourage you to find the routine that fits best for your family.

  • There may be some overlap between the content for children in different age groups that could be shared together.

  • If you have multiple children, you may find some work you can get the younger children started on, leaving you able to engage in deeper conversation with the older children.

With all children, review the monthly verse for memorization. * We encourage you to do this daily!
