Episcopal Children's Curriculum (ECC)

Episcopal Children's Curriculum (ECC)
Episcopal Curriculum for Youth (ECY)
Age Groups: ECC is available for three age groups, Preschool/Kindergarten, Primary, and Intermediate. For each age group, there are three years of material:

Shell Year (in which Baptism is studied)
Chalice Year (in which the Eucharist is studied)
Cross Year (in which Worship is studied)

This format allows churches with multi-age classes to alternate study material over a 3-year cycle. The Shell, Chalice and Cross years may be used in any order. 

Content: These four units are included in every year of the curriculum: Old Testament, New Testament, Sacraments, and the Church. Every year also has material on the major events of the Church Year, including All Saints and Pentecost.
Supplementary Materials: For each curriculum year there is a Teacher's Guide and supplementary material appropriate for the age group, such as symbol cards, learner's books, reproducible puzzle pads, and student newspapers.
