What is Weaver Curriculum?
Imagine yourself teaching several students in different age groups about the plagues of Egypt in Bible, frogs and hail in Science, the topography of Egypt in Geography, the pharohs in History, hieroglyphics in Lanugage Arts, and Egyptian Jewelry in Art -- all at the same time.
Not only is it possible, it's fun! That's the unique and exciting concept behind The Weaver, a unit-based, Biblically integrated curriculum. Whenever possible, all students in the family are studying the same main topic at the same time, with individual lesson assignments geared to each student's age and grade level. In this hands-on, activity-based curriculum, lessons include experiments, maps, murals, timelines, models, collections, field trips, and more. The Weaver teaches students that learning can be fun.
Why use Weaver?
Weaver uses every teaching method at one time or another: lecturing, reading, experimenting, brainstorming, murals, timelines, drama, and collections.
In other curriculums, the Bible is ADDED to the study. With Weaver, the study is ADDED to the Bible lesson. The Bible lessons provide the theme for each chapter.
So how does this work again? Let's take the Plagues in Egypt as an example. When the Bible lesson on the plagues is studied in Volume 2, the students study frogs and lice, hail and blood in Science; Pharaohs and the land of Egypt in Social Studies; and even have a lesson on lice in Health. In Art, they make Egyptian jewelry and practice writing hieroglyphics. This is integrated, Bible based learning.
