Book of Centuries, Timelines, and Other History "Things"


Listen Later

Books and primary sources aren't the only tools we should use when teaching history. Timelines, century charts, and the Charlotte Mason's signature "Book of Centuries" are all tools to help our kids grasp the abstract concept of time.
In this video I share the tools I use to help my kids keep track of the many centuries (and people and events!) we learn about in history. Not only that, time is an abstract concept for kids, they need a strong foundation in how time works to fully understand how long a century is (not to mention a millennium!). I share how I lay this foundation from first grade so they're read to use timelines and their book of centuries.
What I love about Charlotte Mason's Book of Centuries is that its a melting pot of all the subjects. A place where the child can draw pictures and mark down dates from literature to geography to music. This is the place where magic happens --- connections are made, patterns are discovered, and ideas are born.
