Christian Learning Resource | 28527 Guys Mills Road | Guys Mills, PA 16327 877-222-4769 | [email protected] | www.christianlearning.org In the mid-1990’s, several teachers at Barnwell Christian School in South Carolina began dreaming about and experimenting with an alternative approach to teaching history at the elementary level. This approach emphasized living books, timelines, maps, and a defined body of knowledge that students ought to know.

Ten years later, a group at Faith Builders set out to turn the dreams and ideas into a useable curriculum. The result is Living History Threads.

We are delighted to offer this curriculum for the glory of God, for the strengthening of the church, and for the good of our children.

3 www.christianlearning.org | email: [email protected] Our Philosophy Living History Threads

Living History Threads developed from a shared philosophy among writers, editors, and consultants about what a study of history and geography should look like during the earliest years of schooling. Below we summarize our philosophy, sharing an overview of what we believe about understanding and teaching history during the early elementary years.

OUR PHILOSOPHY † We believe with confidence that God holds the ultimate power in history.

† We believe the stories of the past repeated in many history texts have wrongly glorified those who conquered with political power, while neglecting to tell of those who lived and died for the kingdom of God.

† We believe history presented in a story form serves as a powerful tool in developing identity, vision, and values in students.

† We believe a proper understanding of history helps students develop a view of themselves as world Christians, persons who are interested in what God is doing around the globe. This understanding and interest ignites a desire to participate in fulfilling the Great Commission.

† We believe the teaching of history in the younger grades should primarily focus on the actors and events of history while beginning to develop in students the skills of historical understanding and investigation. Students should be exposed to a content-rich environment of history and geography from the earliest levels of schooling.

ESouR Hold up a glass of water. Explain that water played a crucial role in today’s story. pening R Water was used to baptize Felix Manz as a baby. That was one of the major points of contention that led to Felix Manz being baptized as an adult.

Books used in this lesson

6 28527 Guys Mills Road | Guys Mills, PA 16327 | 877-222-4769 SAMPLE PAGES

Read aloud “Felix Manz.”

Read only through the paragraph that begins, “I will sing with gladness!”

Instead of reading the rest of his message, teach class a song that he wrote, “I Will Delight in Singing.” It is translated from the Ausbund. Notice the joy he expresses.

Read aloud the selected portion of “Regina’s Visit to Zurich” from Our Heritage.

Remind students that this is historical fiction. It is based on historical facts, but details are added.

Background: This story is taken from the book Not Regina by Christmas Carol Kauffman. The main character, Regina, has heard of the Anabaptists, but is confused about whether they are correct or not. She is in Zurich to buy a bowl for the lady she works for and happens upon the execution of Felix Manz. y Begin reading on page 43 with the paragraph, “Carefully Regina followed Michel’s directions.” Read through the end of the story (page 50). y Death by drowning was customary for women. This method may have been chosen to shame Manz. y Look at the pictures on pages 22–23 in student booklet Anabaptist Beginnings. Wrap-up Sing “I Will Delight in Singing.”

Review facts about Felix Manz.

THE COLORFUL F ringe Copy

Felix Manz is often known as the first Anabaptist martyr. He was the first Anabaptist of the original R ig H

group to be martyred, and he was the first to be martyred in a Swiss Reformed canton. Bolt Eberli t © 2010 (Hippolyt Eberle) was the first Anabaptist martyred in a Catholic canton. He was burned at the stake on B May 29, 1525. y F A it H BuildERS RESou RCE

Ten Reasons to Consider Living History Threads

† Presents history in living color through dozens of interesting books and stories.

† Encourages elementary students to view history as an enjoyable and consequential subject.

† Integrates Anabaptist and church history from first grade, rather than waiting until junior high.

† Introduces students to Mennonite servants such as Felix Manz, Menno Simons, Dirk Willems, Christopher Dock, and Annie Funk.

† Teaches a rich history vocabulary – hieroglyphics, conquistador, cuneiform, feudalism – in preparation for the upper grades.

† Improves listening skills and comprehension.

† Enables students to recognize key people and places by using flash cards and pictures.

† Develops geographical awareness through the study of significant historical locations.

† Anchors the stories and characters of history in space and time by emphasizing maps and timelines.

† Promotes the development of students’ primary identity as members of God’s global kingdom.
