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 ‘dates of action’ ranges.

The dates are based on the Homeschool in the Woods recommendations. They seemed like a great place to start and with it being in a journal format, we can add pages as needed. I broke them out into 3 different pdf’s, mainly so I could correlate some of what was in the state curriculum guides with what I wanted to teach.

So, if you are so inclined to begin a journal – Here’s the pdf’s. Total pages for the notebook: 120 pps. (including preface)

#1 – Creation to Christ’s Birth 23 pp @ 5,838kb

*Note: I include a preface page as a handout. My kids are very young, but I want them to get a basic start on understanding the Evolutionist’s / Geological timelines vs. the Creationist’s Timeline. More importantly, I will use it as an opportunity to teach them about theorists, scientists, facts, and the old adage “Don’t believe everything you read (from humans, of course!”)

I believe God created the world – and he did it in his time! Personally, I don’t worry about what clock he was using. But the kids need the information and to understand where it’s coming from – on all sides – to the best of my ability to teach it to them. I’m trying to raise “thinking” human beings here!

#2 – Christ’s Birth to 1860 60 pp @ 13,853kb

*Note: I stop off at 1860 because the state cirriculum does…. There’s alot going on here, so I’m sure we will be using dividers to seperate historical eras.

#3 – 1860 to Present Day 36 pp @ 8,086kb

*Note: I say present, but I’m looking forward to grandchildren one day, so it goes to the year 2025! The kids will have to print timelines for their own kids after that!
