Hi everyone,
This is my first post, so I hope it's in the right place. I have a 1st and a 3rd grader. I've been reading The Well-trained Mind book, and am trying to use some of the ideas.
1. If you have multiple kids, do you have them all on the same history period at once, or each going through their own history cycle (like Ancient 1st grade, Medieval 2nd, etc). Or some combination? I have a friend who just goes through the cycle, and the kids start with whatever period they are on when they start school. I wonder if it would be more straightforward this way, instead of keeping track of "his history" and "her history". Or at least doing that until a certain grade? (I like the idea of starting at the beginning and going in sequence, but for the early elementary years, does it matter very strongly where they start?)
2. Do you do history notebooks with your kids? What ages? How? Binders so you can insert anything you want, or an actual (marble or spiral) notebook?
2.a. Does anyone make a "book of centuries" (I think it's a Charlotte Mason thing. I found the idea intriguing but haven't tried it.)
