If you're a CLF member, just contact
us with the ages of your children, and we'll send what you need!
The CLF curriculum plan is designed to be used by families (and small
groups) with at least one adult and 1 to 3 children of mixed ages. First,
based on the ages of your children, pick a starting place in the curriculum
plan:
- Preschool Year is for children
ages 3 to 6 (centered on 5 year olds)
- Year 1 is for children ages 5 to
8 (centered on 6 year olds)
- Year 2 is for children ages 6 to
9 (centered on 7 year olds)
- Year 3 is for children ages 7 to
10 (centered on 8 year olds)
- Year 4 is for children ages 8 to
11 (centered on 9 year olds)
- Year 5 is for children ages 9 and
up (centered on 10 year olds)
- Year 6 is for young people age 10
and up (aimed at 11 year olds)
- Year 7 is for young people ages
11 and up (aimed at 12 year olds)
- The Coming of Age year is for
young people ages 13-15)
- Year 9 is for young people ages
13-18 (aimed at 14 year olds)
Now, follow these three easy steps!
Step One:
Referring to the curriculum plan, gather the books and resources you
need.
Each year of the curriculum plan is broken up into three-month terms,
or "quarters," and you only have to gather the materials and
resources for one quarter at a time. Example: let's say today's date
happened to be February 15th, and you were starting with Year 1. The
second quarter goes from January to March, so gather books and resources
listed under the second quarter of Year 1 of the curriculum plan, and
you're set for the quarter.
Step Two:
Choose a session to start with, and go over the materials for that
session.
For details on planning, see How to plan
sessions.
Step Three:
Lead the session while you learn and have fun with your kids!
And just repeat
Steps One, Two, and Three every session!
