A Year of Tales Elementary

A Year of Tales is a gentle curriculum for your young learner, from Kindergarten through 3rd grade. Focusing on literature and nature as a base, blending together the rich and imaginative tales from Beatrix Potter, and encouraging character and exploration, this curriculum will create a memorable year of education for both the student, and the teacher, as well. The complete curriculum contains 22 weeks of lessons with additional learning included to expand the curriculum to 30 full weeks, if desired.

Each week you will study a new character trait, a Bible verse that encourages and instructs, read thoughtful and well-written literature, as well as a new tale by Beatrix Potter, expand your knowledge with vocabulary words to learn and a spelling list, introduce and learn to appreciate poetry and art, create beautiful and enjoyable handcrafts, as well as exploring nature and science together with a developmentally appropriate hands-on approach. You will also find opportunities to learn basic geography, as well as focused geography lessons for this curriculum throughout the year. Additional Bible readings on the character traits are shared for continuing your learning, as well.

Every Friday you will break in your lessons for a very special tea and poetry time for review, connection, and remembering. At this time your child might give oral recitation of what they have adsorbed and filled their hearts and minds with that week. A field trip recommendation is also given each Friday for bridging what you have learned in stories, resources, and creativity with what your child will find in the world around them.

Kindergarteners will have a year of invitation. You will have a gentle year together, reading intentional books for encouraging your learner to become more inquisitive and aware of the world around them. Your youngest students will enjoy creating simple pieces of art and learning to write small amounts of engaging poetry and memory verses. He or she will make messes, explore nature, and learn more about their own hearts.

First Graders will be challenged to learn more. Your child will explore new vocabulary words, practice mastery spelling lists, as well as sharpen their reading skills.  They will gather more memorization and narration skills, both written and orally. He or she will continue to broaden their understanding of the earth and all it holds. Your child will stretch their mind, and his or her heart while journeying through every week, every tale.

Second and Third Graders will be spending the year reviewing, building confidence, and expanding their knowledge. Your child will learn more thoroughly, finding more connections in language, story-telling, and science investigations. He or she will learn how recitation and making wise choices work hand in hand for simpler, more intentional living. Your child will learn how to appreciate the simple things in life and find beauty in what has been created so thoughtfully.
