A blog by Mrs 3rd Grade about teaching 3rd grade in sunny Arizona
Okay, I'll admit it: I started playing Christmas music yesterday. I'm getting ready for one of my favorite family traditions. During Advent we do a Jesse Tree, with readings and ornaments from the Old Testament that lead to the birth of Christ. I've noticed my children don't always have a good sense of how the different events relate to one another. For years, I've wanted a Bible Timeline to provide a context for the stories we tell. There are several commercial ones: most have a lot of text and dates and are more involved than I need. I really like this one with all the pictures, but its 10' long! That just won't work for our home. So I obsessed over it for 48 hours, and made my own. I drew a simple cartoon history of the Old Testament. It doesn't include every prophet and king and favorite story (because otherwise it would be 10' long!), but it provides a big picture, so when you're reading your favorite story you can point and say, "this happened here." I'm hoping it will help my kids develop a sense of the continuity of the story. I drew the timeline over 5 sheets of paper, but through the magic of Adobe, I've squished it onto a single printable page. Yes, ONE page. The pictures are tiny, but they are simple and readable, so I think it works. And its for you, too! Wishing you a good Advent and blessed Nativity! Grab the printable PDF here - it includes a black and white page, and one with a little color. If you don't want the teeny-tiny version, you can order it in poster from Zazzle in various sizes and paper qualities. Its also available as this pretty 17 x 24" poster printed by Fine Art America. (Be sure to select: Size: natural.)

"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and trodden under the foot of men." Matthew 5:13 What influence you have over your Bible students! YOU have the power to inspire your students to love and treasure God's Word because it came from God! YOU are able to instill the belief in them, that when all goes wrong, that God still loves them and that they truly are never alone. YOU are able to give them the thoughts and words from God's Word that will help them through this difficult life. YOU are able to help shape young children into becoming those who believe that God helps those who serve Him. YOU are able to teach young, impressionable minds about character and integrity through a study of Bible characters. YOU are able to help your students in a way that no worldly classroom teacher can because you have the Words of Life. YOU have influence over your students that will last a lifetime. YOU have the ability to not only extend influence over your students, but will also have an influence over all whom your students will have influence over in their lifetimes. Are you prayerfully planning your lessons? It is within your power to make a difference in your students' lives by the knowledge you impart each week. Are you doing your best?
