Is this a Full Unit or Mini Unit? Easter is a Mini Unit. Our Mini Units are often shorter in length or in output and while they do have crossover into multiple subjects, they are more focused and intentional on the topic of the unit. They also tend to be more hands-on with less written output. In contrast, Full Units are 20 lessons long and designed to take 4-6 weeks to complete. The Student Notebooks from Early Reader and up have 5 pages per day and are designed to cover all your subjects other than math. Some families alternate Full Units with Mini Units while others do them alongside one another.
What is this unit about? Never has it felt more timely to teach our kids about the true meaning of what we believe and what salvation truly means. Our Easter mini unit is all about Jesus. It is not just about His death and resurrection, but about the gospel story and how the Bible works together as a whole from Adam and Eve all the way to the ascension! There is something for literally everyone in this unit, with space in the Teacher's Guide for mom or dad to write their responses as well. Your family will be learning about the story of the gospel, what worship is, the Lord's prayer and how to pray, the power of forgiveness, God's resurrection power in our lives and hearts, and more. You will have communion as a family, do a powerful object lesson to illustrate how God is so much bigger than our expectations, and participate in a foot washing! You will talk about prophecies and how those are fulfilled and understand the story of the cross in a whole new way!
While most of the pages in this unit are filled with meaning and focused on Bible, there are some really fun activities in here as well including painting Easter eggs, making a resurrection garden, baking resurrection rolls, and more. This month is going to be rich
