Grades 5/6
This course is derived from Year 1 of the Tapestry of Grace curriculum and will cover the time period from about 5000 B.C. – A.D. 400 (Ancients). Reading and writing assigments as well as quizzes will be given throughout each trimester, and lively class discussion will help pupils learn and remember both the facts or “grammar” of history, as well as begin to place the people and events in the larger story of mankind and in light of God’s redemptive history for his people.
