Teaching Bible class this school year has been an absolute delight! After struggling with the dilemma of students simply memorizing facts to pass multiple choice tests and not really engaging with God’s Word or enjoying Bible class over my last couple years of teaching, this year has been so much better! My 5th graders have been doing a timeline project each quarter instead of traditional tests. We read and discuss a short passage each day in Bible class, and then they review it and engage with what’s happening in the passage, as they look for Bible verses and come up with ideas for illustrations to use on their timelines as we go along. This system has worked so well, and we’ve had many good impromptu discussions about things in Scripture as they’ve been working on their timelines. It’s been so neat to watch many of my students truly enjoy learning about God in Bible class this year!
