I added the TimeLine_Index.pdf to the mix. It’s here if you want it. (9 pp. – 146k) The Index is just a paper form of Timelineindex.com’s Period pages, meant as an aid to show the kids how history is divided up amongs different groups for ‘dealing’ with history data. Time Periods are almost always politically [...]

After alot of procrastination, I finally got the timeline journal pages ready for the kids to start pasting things down. It took awhile to come to grips with exactly how I was going to lay it out for them. Finally, deciding on personal timeline journals, I made the blank page I showed you earlier, adding [...]

Betcha’ wonder if I sewed anymore, huh? I was beginning to wonder that myself! J3 grew like a weed this summer. After cleaning out his dresser, I realized he was down to 3 pairs of PJ’s that actually fit him. So I made him some more (with room to grow through the winter). The flannel [...]

The last time we visited the local farmer’s market, Jacques and Nancy Garry of Red Hot Tomatoes gave a demonstration of how one would go about keeping a worm farm under your kitchen cabinet.

I thought I’d share this timeline paper.jpg I created tonight. You can punch it on the top side or the left side. I’m using Paint.NET v3.35 software to create it, and it shows that it’s 8.5 x 11 (landscape orientation) so hopefully it will print to that size for ya’ll. If you have a paint [...]

I can’t tell you how relieved and excited I was to find it! The gallery has blackline maps, historical maps, continents, countries, clip [...]

The Picture of the kids first day back to school. The “I’ll have my eyes open in a minute one” is my night owl. The other two were up and ready on the dot! They got to pick what to wear. From the way they dress sometimes, one would think I made them dress up, [...]

The Kids started back to school on Monday. They were soooo excited that by 11pm, still wide awake with nerves, we let them come downstairs into the classroom and at least peek at their new supplies and check out the room. Slobo took pics for me the next morning, but since I’m using another computer [...]

I’ve spent most of this week, doing teach schtuff preparing for this coming school year. While I was working on the classroom, the kids were in the back of the basement perfecting their Texas Hold ‘Em strategies. It was too cute to pass up the opportunity for another picture! They were using their monopoly money [...]
