Throughout their education this book will serve as your child’s chronicle of their discoveries in history, geography, music, art, literature, science, and math. As the years progress, the “Aha!” moments will multiply, and history will become an intriguing and beloved subject.
How to use the timeline
Using a ruler, draw a tick above and below the main line in the appropriate place between the time periods, write the date below the line, label your entry at the end of the line above the main line, and then make a sketch and use watercolor, premium pencils or markers to shade your entry ~ alternatively, you can paste a timeline figure or printed picture to represent the entry.
When choosing how far to extend the line above the main line, it is recommended that you begin with an inch above the mainline. As the years progress, and more entries are made in or near the same year, you’ll continue to extend your line further up one inch at a time. This leaves room for new entries to be made as more is learned and discovered about each time period.
“Let them once get in touch with nature and a habit is formed which will be a source of delight through life.”
