Simply Classical Curriculum: Level B Set

Sample Lesson Plan: Level B

The developmental foundation of a classical education is the cultivation of wonder and an appreciation for language. The lessons in this level encourage wonder through and early love of language, numbers, and books.

All of the books, prayers, and songs included in this level can help you nurture your child's imagination, provide shared moments, initiate satisfying conversations, and strengthen your child's faith. Along with the activities presented here, enjoy nature walks with him, play in water, sand, and mud; relax outside and indoors; and spend plenty of time at playgrounds, in backyards or swimming pools, and with balls and pedal toys to help strengthen his body and give him self-control over his movements.

This Curriculum Manual is made to be used in conjunction with Simply Classical Curriculum: Level B.
