Resources for Christian Education

The following list was created with a Kindergarten through 5th grade program in mind. You’ll notice that even though there are 6 grades, there are only 5 years of stories. This means that 5th graders will be exposed to the same lessons and stories that they experienced when they were in Kindergarten. The idea is to use repetition (a fantastic and sometimes underutilized teaching device) as a way to reinforce whatever snippets of the lessons/stories that the students remember from their first year in the WRM.
