In the mid-1990’s, several teachers at Barnwell

Christian School in South Carolina began dreaming

about and experimenting with an alternative

approach to teaching history at the elementary level.

This approach emphasized living books, timelines,

maps, and a defined body of knowledge that

students ought to know.

Ten years later, a group at Faith Builders set out to turn the dreams and ideas into a

useable curriculum. The result is Living History Threads.

We are delighted to offer this curriculum for the glory of God, for the strengthening

of the church, and for the good of our children.

Distinctive Characteristics of L i v i n g H i s t o r y Th r e a d s

† Living Books and Stories are the principal form of content used.

† Read-alouds are the primary means used to offer the content. Reading to students

is the centerpiece of daily activities. Because the teacher reads aloud the books

and stories, these can be on a higher reading level than would otherwise be

possible.

† Formative Stories are emphasized along with informative stories.

† Multiple Strands of Content—world history, American history, church history,

Anabaptist history, local history, and geography—are developed each year in

the program, providing content-rich exposure to stories, people, and events

from far and near. Church and Anabaptist history receive emphasis from the

earliest grades.

† Key Content guides student learning by providing a inite body of essential

knowledge for mastery. his is consistent with the classical education’s model

of emphasizing development of subject grammar in the early years of education.

† Maps and Timelines provide a constant spatial and chronological context for the

historical content.

Our Philosophy

L i v i n g H i s t o r y Th r e a d s

Living History Threads developed from a shared philosophy among writers, editors,

and consultants about what a study of history and geography should look like during the

earliest years of schooling. Below we summarize our philosophy, sharing an overview of

what we believe about understanding and teaching history during the early elementary

years.

† We believe with confidence that God holds the ultimate power in history.

† We believe the stories of the past repeated in many history texts have wrongly glorified those

who conquered with political power, while neglecting to tell of those who lived and died for

the kingdom of God.

† We believe history presented in a story form serves as a powerful tool in developing identity,

vision, and values in students.

† We believe a proper understanding of history helps students develop a view of themselves as

world Christians, persons who are interested in what God is doing around the globe. This

understanding and interest ignites a desire to participate in fulfilling the Great Commission.

† We believe the teaching of history in the younger grades should primarily focus on the

actors and events of history while beginning to develop in students the skills of

historical understanding and investigation. Students should be exposed to a content-rich

environment of history and geography from the earliest levels of schooling.

Hold up a glass of water. Explain that water played a crucial role in today’s story.

Water was used to baptize Felix Manz as a baby. That was one of the major points of

contention that led to Felix Manz being baptized as an adult. Then the authorities

threatened to give him a “third baptism.” How did they intend to baptize Manz a third

time?

Felix Manz is often known as the first Anabaptist martyr. He was the first Anabaptist of the original group to be martyred, and he was the first to be martyred in a Swiss Reformed canton. Bolt Eberli (Hippolyt Eberle) was the first Anabaptist martyred in a Catholic canton. He was burned at the stake on May 29, 1525.

Sing “I Will Delight in Singing.”

Review facts about Felix Manz.

Read aloud “Felix Manz.”

Read only through the paragraph that begins, “I will sing with gladness!”

Instead of reading the rest of his message, teach class a song that he wrote, “I Will Delight in Singing.”

It is translated from the Ausbund. Notice the joy he expresses.

Read aloud the selected portion of “Regina’s Visit to Zurich” from Our Heritage.

Remind students that this is historical fiction. It is based on historical facts, but details are added.

Background: This story is taken from the book Not Regina by Christmas Carol Kauffman. The main

character, Regina, has heard of the Anabaptists, but is confused about whether they are correct or

not. She is in Zurich to buy a bowl for the lady she works for and happens upon the execution of

Felix Manz.

y Begin reading on page 43 with the paragraph, “Carefully Regina followed Michel’s directions.” Read

through the end of the story (page 50).

y Death by drowning was customary for women. This method may have been chosen to shame Manz.

y Look at the pictures on pages 22–23 in student booklet Anabaptist Beginnings.

† Enables students to recognize key people and places by using flash cards and

pictures.
