Konos Curriculum, Volume 1 with Lesson Plans --- From the Reader's Note on page iv: "Each volume is a manual for parents (or teachers) to use with any subject with any student(s) from kindergarten through eighth grade although it is also used as a supplement for younger and older children. All elementary subjects, excluding phonics, math, and upper level language arts, are included. Bible, science, social studies, art, music, literature, and health and safety are covered in each volume. Each volume can be used for two consecutive years, or can be used for one year and used again at a later date. Most families prefer to use Volume 1 for two years, Volume II for two years, and then Volume III for two years. However, families with multi-levels might prefer to cover a volume in one year, and return to it at a later time to "fill in" for younger children." Subjects addressed in Volume 1 of the Konos Character Curriculum include: Attentiveness, Obedience, Honor, Trust, Stewardship, and Patience. Lessons in each subject address these high points. The appendix includes suggestions for additional resources.
