All dates are approximate and based on David Rohl's dating plan. (The Shearers of Greenleaf also recommend his dates) I don't write the dates on the timeline cards. I found that young children don't need them. The order of events is more important at this age, not the year. When we study history a second time around in the upper years, we add dates to individual timeline/century books.
one step at a time...
Your timing is AMAZING! I think Someone must be prompting you :) A heart-felt THANK YOU for yet another timely, relevant post! You are such an encouragement and a blessing to me.

I can't seem to get my child to want to listen to the early history. She will gladly listen to any other books I read her! Arg!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've wondered about this too.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well,

Thank you so much! I'm glad that the Bible is integrated. I'd love to see a timeline like this for the rest of history.
ReplyDeleteI love your website. You are such a wonderful source of inspiration.
Best of luck to you and yours.

I'm so glad this is helpful to you all. I should add that this timeline is from our readings of CHOW as well as our Children's Bible.
ReplyDeleteThis is very helpful! Our timeline has these and other characters that my dd finds interesting. Perhaps you could find time to post on Year 2 and Year 3 additions. Thanks for all of your wonderful and encouraging subject matter!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Thank you. I had wanted to ask. This is very helpful to understand and compare. We have just started second grade. If you do have the opportunity to post 2nd and 3rd grade, I would greatly appreciate the help!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what I was just working on! Thank you for doing this; you have saved me so much time!
ReplyDeleteMany Blessings,
