wehave8 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Did you use Homeschool in the Woods Record of Time Timeline when you did VP History? How did you use it? Does anything tell WHEN to look for an event/person to place on the timeline? Or do you just place 'Card' events? Or did you do something else?

wehave8 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Did anyone do any type of timeline with VP besides just using the cards in order? Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloha2U Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 We barely got started with HTTA Timeline in our first year of VP—OTAE—before the thrill of it fizzled out for us. My little man isn't big on coloring, and neither of us liked taking the time to cut out the printed figures. It's still sitting empty on the shelf with the Suggested Placement Guide. Perhaps precut stickers would have worked better for us, though I didn't spend the time or effort to look for any. I should just sell or give them away. We have the Big Book of History as well as Adam's SynChronological Chart that I purchased from Answers in Genesis, so it wasn't a big deal for us. He did, however, like the Famous Figures of Ancient Times. Did you get your hands on the VP's Lesson Plans? They have the some of the events/people scheduled for you, but not all of what HTTA includes on their CD are scheduled—just the most relevant ones to VP's cards. On a side note, I discovered and he excavated the Egyptian Pyramid Dig. We also enjoyed the Old Testament Activity-Pak alongside VP Bible. I'd forgotten that I have the New Testament Activity-Pak on the shelf and meant to schedule it in this year. My little man is now determined to complete it by the end of the summer. We also constructed a model of the Tabernacle. So... what I'm saying is that other things filled our time instead of the HTTA timeline.

I am going to see if I can find them at our homeschool convention (CHAP in Harrisburg, PA) in May. I did get a 3-week lesson plan sample from VP for OTAE and OT Bible combined. I think the TM is better for me, though. My boys and I LOVE the pages in the TM! I had already made a wall (huge poster) timeline (without any figures on it yet) from MOH suggestion. We never got to putting anything on it. I might use it with VP...if I can figure out on my own what I am doing. :) I also have a model of the Tabernacle like what you did. I need to learn how to break away from what is written into a curriculum and supplement with what I have! We would probably not do the Activity Paks you shared, but showing me how you can do things other than what is planned is very helpful!! I'll look at the HTTA at CHAP. (unless you want to pass yours along that are sitting on your shelf :) ) Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My little man loved the Big Picture Bible Timeline in K (OT) and 1st grade (NT), but we just didn't get into the HTTA Record of Time. I'll be happy to pass along the bundle—Record of Time notebook, Placement Guide, and Figures on CD, if you think you'll get some use out of it and don't mind paying for the shipping. It may take me a little time to procure a box, but I'll be ordering a couple of things within the next few days, so it shouldn't be too long before one turns up that'll work. Just pm me if you're still interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
