My First Steps in Faith: A Teacher's Guide for Young Learners

Synopsis

This comprehensive teacher's guide is specifically designed for educators of Beginners' Class (ages 4-5) within our church community. It serves as a primary resource, ensuring that each lesson upholds the pure doctrine of our faith while being age-appropriate and practically oriented for young children. The guide meticulously details the curriculum presented in the 2018 academic plan, breaking down each lesson to facilitate an easy teaching process. To maximize learning effectiveness, every session follows a consistent structure: an opening (prayer and greeting), a review (recalling the previous lesson), the main story, an activity (craft or game), a conclusion, and a closing prayer. Adhering to this framework will help capture the children's attention and ensure the lesson's success. By preparing these sessions in advance and beginning each lesson with prayer, teachers are encouraged to sow the seeds of God's word in the hearts of these young children, contributing to their spiritual growth.
