A Beka... By Gail

I taught A Beka for Kindergarten. It is a more advanced curriculum because now I teach in Elem. at a public school, and can see the differences. You begin the day teaching a Bible story, and also working on reciting a Bible| verse for the week. The students stood and recited their verse at the end of the week. They were to know it by heart-if not, they continued to work on it. *Preview your Bible stories and picture cards in the curriculum so that goes smoothly everyday.* Reading is pretty much tracked depending on the school's culture. Talk with other teachers on how they implement this. Everything | | is phonics based, and I believe that is why mostly all of the kids read at much higher levels. So, you work with one group while the others work on something at their seats.Math-I did whole class instruction, and then they tried it on their own. I worked with a small group if they needed more help. Social Studies/Science/Community Helpers/Others: I found that most of the consumable workbooks only hit certain topics for about 2-3 pages, then moved on. Again, talk to others, but I think developing units around the subject areas for 1-2 weeks with some outside materials would get you a good start--prepare some materials now to have on hand as you get to things. Get this approved by the principal/see what others do. E-mail with any particular questions you have!
