Fifth Grade
Fifth Grade focues on the Sacraments, and, "Who is Jesus?" This year we have added in a supplemental text called - God is Calling - Together Time - Jesus Lives. There are great lessons and ideas for activities that are themed around Who is Jesus. I have scanned the lessons below, and you can use them as you wish. We have enough of the small reading books for 1 per 2 kids in your class if you want to read in class or have the kids act out one of the stories. You can also just use it to inform yourself and summarize in class. I have referenced the lessons below and on your syllabus.
