jtcarter14 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Would someone mind giving me the names of a few of the supplemental books for the first lesson or two from MOH, Volume 1? I just ordered it last night, and I'd love to already have some books from the library when (or before) we get it in the mail. :) Thanks!

Mommee & Baba Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Depending on the age of your students that will be doing this particular history curriculum depends on the actual supplemental books (if at all any are needed).... Lesson 1 is about Creation Lesson 2 is about Adam and Eve So if you have anything you know that would help explain this better then I'd get something..but the activities at the end of each lesson makes it easier for younger kids to understand them. I wouldn't suggest any additional books for the first few lessons unless you have middle school - high school students...and they want to study the theory of evolution or the big bang theory...

jtcarter14 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hey. My dc are in 3rd and 4th grades. I was under the impression that there was a list of supplemental books in the appendix - books listed to go along with each week of study. I see it in the preview of the contents, and I remember seeing one that my friend has. But she only has Vol. 2. We got used to having "Book Basket" from MFW, and we have even continued it with SOS. We're just used to (and look forward to) having library books to go along with what they're learning. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know Maggie (the publisher) paid to have some mom's research it for the 2nd edition, and she asks users don't share it. The old list for the 1st edition of MOH is in the MOH 1 yahoo group files. It is quite a bit smaller than the new one, but given the order of lessons didn't change it would still be relevant. You could join the group and check that one out, or e-mail me and I can get it to you. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtcarter14 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks! I found it where you said it would be. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommee & Baba Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Glad you found it and I did see where it's stated to not share openly. I also have to say that the MOH Vol.1 group is AMAZING!! I printed ALL my timeline figurines from there and SEVERAL other ideas I pulled from there....I love it!! So I highly rec. it! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtcarter14 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hey, I've looked and looked and don't see the printable time line figures on the Yahoo group. Can you tell me where they are? I looked in files, photos, database, and searched messages. Also, I wanted to use index cards for the memory cards and the time line. Would 4x6 be a good size? The 5x8 are SO big, and 3x5's look too small. In the introduction, the author says to use a 2" or 3" 3-ring binder for the notes and activities, etc. Could we start out with a 1" since binders are so expensive this time of year (I already have some 1" ones), or will they fill up really fast? Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommee & Baba Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The timeline figurines are...under Files, Ideas for Timeline...then Maritza's Timeline Figures PDF..HTH! :) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MysteryofHistory1/files/Ideas%20for%20timeline/Maritza%27s%20Timeline%20Figures%20PDF/ As for memory cards, I use reg. 3x5 index cards and it all fits fine for what I summerize..as a matter of fact there is a printable of summaries for each lesson to help to know what to put on your memory cards. http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/MMw9TTKC4qDm1HjUTR1ybrxWVaUSMdE1h3sG_oUANfmyWSYloLrXsZ669t1C1LJIzdqkp8uj1gqXodkhqnMiXkXbjyaft8z_9adT3PI/Memory%20Card%20notes/Microsoft%20Word%20-%20moh%20memory%20cards.pdf When using a binder..as we call it our MOH Journal...I only use 1 for both my children. Since it's a subject we do together. I use the reg. 1" binder for now and I will grow them into a 3" if and when it's needed. So far the 1" is perfect for us. We take pictures of all our projects and place them in the journal instead of saving every project. We're HALF-way through MOH1 and are still doing fine with 2 children in a 1". But I think it's because we take pictures and place those in the binder instead of all the activities that could make it fill up super fast. Good Luck! And if you have anymore questions just let me know :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much! Here is one set in PDF. This is the same think in jpeg files. Here is another set, where the kiddos could be more creative in coloring and filling in details. The rest are mostly photos of timelines or generic figures that you can customize. I think you can use what ever size you want to. I think the bigger issue is storage. I personally would want both of them kept in order, so you need one of those mini-binders (though I have seen better quality ones that this) or a ring. I use the rings a lot, though once in a while they pop open and you have to re-order everything. With the pre-made binders I always was running out of cards that already had holes punched. With the rings I just punch one side and put them that way....I think I have a sample picture here of our grammar cards. I didn't do the binders, but I don't see why you can't start with 1". The worst that can happen is you have to buy bigger binders or split it in two. I would just start with what you have for now.

Mommee & Baba Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Oh and for the index card memory cards we did have them on a ring and it was a mess for my littles to deal with..but then again they are 5 & 7...I switched to this and it's working LOVELY for us! http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/840159/Oxford-Poly-Index-Card-Binder-4/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the ones I was looking for and not finding! My older kids do fine with the rings, but we still have once in a while when they get to playing with them and the ring comes open. Cards go flying. It is rare these days, but with little kids...I can just...imagine. :D Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
