Time & Space

Such is the setting for God’s story through mankind. But you get up to 6000 years and 7 Continents and it gets a little hard to keep it all straight. Enter Timelines and Maps. And for those in this mobile generation, that means mobile apps for Timelines and Maps.   ~ Me

 

 Wonders of Old & MapTrek Apps
Set of 3 Apps

 

Wonders of Old: Ancient Timeline

A beautiful timeline reference app which will give you a unique perspective on the events of world history.

The truth is… many students may study the fall of Carthage, the Han Dynasty, the Rosetta Stone, and the archeological site of Teotihuacan, never realizing that these four events all happened within the same timeframe – 202-196BC. These events may seem unrelated and yet the use of a timeline can unlock the mystery as to why all of these events occurred within the same period of time. A timeline will give you and/or your student a unique perspective of time. By seeing the events of history recorded in linear progression, you will make connections between those events in history that you might not otherwise make.

Wonders of Old: Medieval Timeline

This stunning timeline reference app which will give you a unique perspective on the events of world history.

The truth is… many students may study the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks, the end of Hundred Years’ War between France and Britain, and the printing of the first book, the Gutenberg Bible, never realizing that these three events all happened within the same year – 1453AD. These events may seem unrelated and yet the use of a timeline can unlock the mystery as to why all of these events occurred within the same year. A timeline will give you and/or your student a unique perspective of time. By seeing the events of history recorded in linear progression, you will make connections between those events in history that you might not otherwise make.

Map Trek: Ancient World

Map Trek: Ancient World mobile application is a historical atlas and geography encyclopedia in one.

Map Trek: Ancient World mobile application is a historical atlas and geography encyclopedia in one. Map Trek allows you to teach geography alongside history. This is a resource that any parent or student can use with brilliant success, even if you don’t remember a thing from your history or geography classes in school. Since these maps are chronological in sequence, you may use them easily with any chronological history program. These maps are meant to enhance your current history program and make it even better.

Exercise

Many times the only thing people dislike more than exercises their bodies is exercising their brains. It’s hard work. But the more you do it the easier it becomes. And the Christian Logic books from Trivium Pursuit help make it painless – perhaps even fun. ~ Me 

  

The Thinking Toolbox

 

This book is like a toolbox, full of different kinds of tools you can use for different thinking tasks. Just as you use the wrench to fix the sink, so you can use the tools we give you in this book to solve thinking problems.

We wrote this book for children and adults who want to learn logic and critical thinking skills. The Thinking Toolbox follows the same style as The Fallacy Detective with lessons and exercises and an answer key in the back. Parents and teachers, as well as anybody who wants to learn logic, will find The Thinking Toolbox easy to use and practical.

Features

• Fun to use – not dry like a math textbook
• Can be used after or before The Fallacy Detective
• Introductory – teaches skills you can use right away
• Self-teaching format
• For ages twelve and older
• Over 60 cartoon illustrations by Richard LaPierre

Growing in Christ’s Image
A Character Book of Remembrance

 

Add to your faith virtue, … 2 Peter 1:5

Character is the second most important thing we disciple our children in. It is something we both teach and train in – day in and day out. It isn’t the easiest thing we can teach our children. Math, Reading, HisStory are all so much easier. But after the knowledge of God and Salvation by Jesus the Christ alone, Character is the most important thing we can train our children in. We must have the Character ourselves to be consistent and diligent in teaching them. We must realize that the trials we face, even in this, are for our own maturing and growth in the image of Christ.

Our Character studies enable us to clearly identify and define the character quality, come up with practical applications that demonstrate it, and journal our progress in it. These journal forms will help you document your study into a Book of Remembrance for future reference, both as a Journal of Remembrance for yourself and in discipling others. We recommend you put them in page protectors in 3-ring binders.

But the point is not that your children have nice orderly and complete notebooks of Character information, but that it grows in their hearts, that their lives are transformed by God, and conformed to the image of His Son, Jesus. The Journals are just a tool of Remembrance of the information, illustrations, and applications we learn.

This resource contains over 25 journaling forms in 2 different formats for beginning writers (who need ruled mid-lines) and more experienced writers (who don’t). 60 pages.

This resource can be used for personalized study, (searching the dictionary, the Scriptures, and other resources for your own study,) or with character teaching resources you have.

The winner of this drawing will receive Growing in Christ’s Image. You can enter this drawing several ways. Increase your chances of winning by doing all of them! Each must be a separate comment to this post (below.)

Memories

We all remember playing memory match, and children still love to play it. This cute set of Farm Animals has the added bonus of their names and sounds in 4 languages. Learn more than picture matching. ~ Me

 

Farm Animals Matching Cards

 

Farm Animals Matching Cards is an e-book with masters for making your own matching card set. There are two pages of matching cards–six animals on each page.

These picture pages can be printed out in color, on card stock. You will need to print each page two times, so there will be a double set of cards.

The cards are cut apart, and are then ready to use. You can also have them laminated, to make them more durable.

Words in four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German) for the 12 farm animals AND their sounds are listed on two charts, so the game can easily be used for foreign language practice.

Memory match games can be enjoyed by the whole family.

They are a favorite game of young and old alike.

They also are an excellent way to practice foreign language vocabulary– great to use as a supplement to any foreign language study.

There are 9 pages in this e-book.

Tools of Learning

I don’t agree with a lot of Classical (Greek) education, but the Bluedorns approach is different. It is a Christian approach for teaching our children to learn and think – through a Biblical perspective. And I really like that it is a gentle approach in the early years. In our Resources & Recommendations Online Catalog on our General Home Ed Resources page. ~ Me

 

Teaching the Trivium

How can you give your children the tools they need to teach themselves? Long ago students were first taught how to learn. Today, students are taught an encyclopedia of subjects – trivia – but they are not taught the basic skills of learning: to discover, to reason, and to apply. They are not taught the Trivium.

Can you homeschool in a classical style without compromising your Christian principles? Because we are Christians, we do not want to pursue non-Christian goals. Classical Education must be sifted through the critical screen of the Scriptures to be transformed into a Biblical model.

Can you homeschool in a classical style without buckling under the burden? There is only so much time in the day. For every subject, and for every age, we have a workable plan – which leaves you free to breathe. You can continue to use other approaches to homeschooling within the framework of Classical Education.

Is homeschooling about renewing family vision? The family is at the heart of God’s plan for restoring Christian culture. Homeschooling is not alternative education. Homeschooling was here first. We want to restore Biblical order to education.

Discipling Young Men

Although the process of Raising Real Men is not always “fun”, reading the book was a delight.

The answer is yes.

“Just what the doctor ordered…” – Parenting columnist John Rosemond, author of Parenting by the Book

It’s About Time ~ Freedom & Simplicity™ Timelines

 

HisStory is about Time. It’s about God working throughout time, to reveal His plan. Time shapes each event on earth into what it is. Being able to place events, ideas and lives into their correct time brings much understanding to His (God’s) Story. A timeline is a tool that helps us place those happenings.

In addition to great reasons for utilizing a timeline in your studies, there are many types of timelines, and ways you can design a timeline. In this Guidebook, I share both with you. But most of all I share with you how we have come to Freedom & Simplicity™ with Timelines. There are so many choices out there (and I show you several.) But what can be done in Simplicity, and what is going to bring the Freedom of understanding into our studies? That is the main question we answer in this Freedom & Simplicity™ Learning Guide. What tools are going to be the most effective and easiest to use for the task at hand, understanding the flow of all of HisStory? And how to we make them and use them?

In It’s About Time, we look at 13 different types of timelines, and directions for making and using them, and provide you with several options for timeline figures—many of them free!

This Freedom & Simplicity™ guide covers:

• The Purpose and Framework of Timelines
• The Pictorial Framework Timeline
• Timeline Figures
• The Timeline in a Book
• Journal (Notebook) Timeline Pages
• Timeline on a Board
• Timeline in a Box
• Other Timeline Formats
• Beyond the Timeline – the P.I.P.E. Book of Remembrance Journal
