Connecting With History

Last year we started a history program called Connecting With History. It is a catholic program and studies the history of Salvation. We started in Genesis with the creation of the world and have moved our way through the Old Testament to Unit 8 on the Exile of Israel in 722-538 BC. The theme of the unit is listening to God's voice. How the Israelites during there time of exile had to listen to the prophets to know that God had not abandoned them. That he has a plan and a purpose for their lives. We also will continue to learn about Greece but moving into the Classical time period.




This book has many fun activities to help learn about the life of people living in Greece during this time. The way they dress, what they eat, arts, education, etc. The kids will be picking some fun activities to do that I am really looking forward to. This unit should be a lot of fun!

I will also be reading aloud to them God King, A Story of the Days of King Hezekiah. King Hezekiah was one of the few Kings during this time period that obeyed Gods commandments and did not allow pagan worship.

So far we have started the assigned bible reading and have learned about the Assyrian empire who has conquered the northern Israelite kingdom and sent the people into exile.
