Books of the Bible

It is our goal that after the students graduate from the Third Grade Sunday school class that they will know all the books of the Bible.  We teach our students the books of the Bible by helping them understand that there are two testaments: Old and New.  Then we take each testament and teach the children the major sections such as in the Old Testament:  Law, History, Poetry, Major Prophets, and Minor Prophets.  Below are the books of the Bible as we teach them.  Please work with your children outside of class to help them learn these books of the Bible.  Thank you again for your help.
