Grade 5

The grade 5 curriculum will focus on God’s covenant promises. Students will
connect the Old Testament promises to their New Testament fulfillment. The Old
Testament units will demonstrate that God did not abandon his people during their
exile from the Promised Land. Students will note how God cared for his people during
the exile by raising up leaders such as Daniel and Esther. As God prepared his people
for their return to Judah, he gave them new leaders in Ezra and Nehemiah. And God
sent John the Baptist to prepare his people for his Son’s ministry.
The lessons will then turn to Jesus’ early life and ministry. Students will recognize
that Jesus was the perfect fulfillment of God’s Old Testament promises discover how
Jesus carried out his father’s work as he ministered to people. Students will also reflect
on Jesus’ statements about his death and resurrection. Throughout this curriculum,
students will think of ways that God is preparing them for work in his kingdom.
