Does anyone know of a timeline that spans creation to modern history that is already filled in for the wall? I’m ok if it takes up some space. I would just like a nice visual so as we read we can find whoever we might be reading about and see what was going on at that time. Any products like that out there? Thanks!

:bigear: I can't wait to hear the replies to your question. I will have a 4th, 3rd, 1st, 4k, and 3 yr old this coming year. When I just looked at time to teach math alone my head started spinning! Then I realized all the other subjects I wanted to cover...I need about three of me...well four would be nice then one can cook and clean

:bigear: Also, have been looking at biblioplan and would love to hear more experiences. ByGrace3 How were the crafts? It seems like when I look at the samples they are a bit involved not necessarily with things I would have around. Maybe that is just the impression that I got.

I'm looking at using Considering God's Creation with Galloping the Globe this coming year. I will be using it with a 3rd, 2nd, and kindergartner (and 3 1/2 yr old &1 1/2 yr old). I like that the student sheets are a pdf download so I will be able to print numerous copies for each of the kids. Simply Charlotte Mason - 106 Days of Creation

Five in a Row adding phonics and math on their levels. It doesn't have all the subjects you listed but we really liked using Adventures in American History from Elemental History.

:bigear:

I would definitely be interested! You have done a ton of work - thank you for sharing!!

Thank you for sharing!

Oooooh, this might work! Lots of flexibility, some direction, the printouts that I would like to have for multiple kids without it costing crazy amounts, recipes, and projects. Thank you! For $18.95 what an awesome resource.

I will look into this, thanks! Do you happen to have a link? Or is it not out yet?? (never mind found where they were talking about it) The grades are 3rd, 2nd, and K. I have All Through the Ages to use as a resource just trying to see if I can use someone else's plan to keep me accountable. :rolleyes: I was considering following the HOD Preparing guide but there is a lot I don't want to do and not sure it is worth the $ if I am only using it for some readings and activities.

Would you want to share your list?? Did you add in activities at all?

I will bookmark your blog! Thanks!!

This is an old thread but... Have any other curriculums come out that cover an overview of world history for the elementary crowd? :bigear:

I'm glad you were able to make a decision. Just some random thought to add. I just wanted to encourage you that if you find yourself questioning that decision - not that I do that at all ;) - go through and read the Beyond activities and how much you are reading a day. I personally want to read more. You can add in from the MFW book basket or any books because you have more of a theme for the week in MFW. Every time I read back through the HOD manual I realize I can not see us doing the activities but MFW Adventure's activities seem more like a project to me which is what I am looking for. I also would rather read The Story of the Pilgrims through the month of November instead of the 13 weeks it is scheduled. ;) I too am one drawn to HOD on paper but do not like it in reality for our family. I haven't really figured out our plan... hopefully as time goes on everything will fall into place. Enjoy the journey!!

I have a couple that I made for my kids. You can check them out here: http://www.momentswithapril.com/2012/01/abc-handwriting-book.html This one she is probably past. http://www.momentswithapril.com/2012/01/heart-of-dakota-little-hearts-for-his.html These are KJV bible verses that are broken into parts over the week so she wouldn't be writing too much in one day. http://www.momentswithapril.com/2012/02/hod-beyond-little-hearts-for-his-glory.html There are three files with more KJV bible verses with different levels of difficulty. Tracing the letters, copywork with three lines, and copywork with a single line to write on. I'm still undecided what I am doing next year for my 1st/2nd graders but will share files that I make on my blog. HTH!
