One of my goals for 2015 is to start a blog. I want to provide you with tips and ideas that will help you grow as a teacher. This first post is more of an introduction to Teach Me The Bible and a look back at my class in 2014. Plus I am offering a special, so make sure to read to the end!
I started creating this curriculum to provide my two year old daughter with lessons that would take her through the Bible. I wanted to help hide God’s word in her heart. She has really grown in Bible knowledge this past year.

2014 classroom highlights
Teach Me The Bible curriculum became available for others to use in February of 2014. Since then I have received a lot of positive feedback from teachers about how they love using the memory ribbons, time line visuals, take home cards, and memory verses.
We started using Quarter 1: The Beginning and the children immediately fell in love with the crafts. Being able to “create” the days of creation in a craft really helped the children remember the lessons.
As we moved on to Quarter 2: The Promise the children continued to love the crafts but another part that the children really enjoyed was the applications. By using the included visuals they really “got it” and they could see how the Bible applied to their lives. In one lesson we talked about Jacob and Esau and how we should get along with others. This one really hit home since my students all have siblings. I used the pictures and let the children choose which one shows the children getting along. Repetition is the key at this age so I mixed up the pictures and did it again and again.
Quarter 3: The New Nation included one of their favorite role play activity. The children enjoyed marching around the walls of Jericho. I think we made the walls fall down three or four times. They wanted to do it over and over.
looking ahead to 2015
We are almost to Quarter 4: The Judges as a class and I just know the children are going to love learning about Gideon, Samson, and Samuel. When I use the full color visuals to go over the lessons, the children’s eyes are just glued to the pictures. They truly adore them.
In 2015 I plan on completing this two year curriculum. I am currently working on Quarter 5: The Kings. Then I will create Quarter 6: The Prophets, Quarter 7: Life of Christ, and Quarter 8: The Church.
I have some exciting announcements to reveal in 2015! Stay tuned.

**limited time special**
As I look back over this last year I was happy to learn that the curriculum is being used in 33 different states. To show my appreciation I would like to offer a special sale on the books of the Bible cards. These are such a useful tool in any class and a favorite activity for the children. For a limited time when you buy 2 sets you will get 1 free.
