Christopherus Unit Studies:
Main Lessons for Homeschoolers
Animal Legends

pictures.
40 pages, 8½"x11",
spiral bound - $22
|
Please note: this volume
is an integral part of the Christopherus 2nd
grade curriculum but also stands completely on its own for those not using
the full curriculum.
Here is the second of our second grade
language arts main lessons (the other being Saints and
Heroes). These are morality tales, tales which carry important lessons
for children as they seek to find their own relationship to good and evil and to
the nuances of human interaction. Never moralizing, these short stories,
many from Aesop's or the Buddhist Jataka tales, are satisfying in their
simplicity and timelessness.
The 10 stories included are:
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
The Wise Goat and the Wolves
The Tortoise and the Hare
The Hungry Fox
Rabbit's Money Crop
The Wolf and the Lamb
Foolish Words
The Mouse and the Lion
The Hare and the Crocodile
The Old Man and the Bear
Each story includes a related activity and most also include
instructions or helpful line drawings. Five full color main lesson book
pictures with sample writing are also included (see
sample page) as well as guidance on how to create a main lesson book. There
are two further sections on expectations around writing and drawing and guidance
on telling stories (see sample
page).
