Rome to the Reformation
For 4th-8th Graders
(and 2nd - 3rd graders with older sibling in the program)
|
"But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons." Galatians 4:4
Rome
to the Reformation follows Creation to the Greeks in our chronological history-based study for students in grades 2-8. Travel back to the time of the Romans and learn how they set the stage by their Pax Romana for the central event of all history -- the birth of Jesus. Follow the development of the church and study the Middle Ages, culminating with the Renaissance and Reformation. Science focuses on the human body and astronomy.
Rome
to the Reformation is a complete curriculum for history,
Bible, and science. You will only need to add language arts
and math. The Deluxe Package adds music, read-alouds, and
several additional hands-on projects (playing chess and
constructing a castle).
Teacher's Manual: Rome to the Reformation
