I never knew it myself and love learning it with the kids, it really does make history come alive when you understand when it happened and how it weaves together.

I was taught just like you; no connections. I actually hated history when I was in school because I couldn't learn it. <br /><br />Last year I finally decided on the chronological route and I'm so glad we did. This year we are using MOH, so I'm going to go over and check out your Pinterest board. Thanks for listing all the other resources too - very helpful!<br /><br />Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333202812452350816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515491755026279339.post-30043423573526594732013-02-13T03:45:41.866+11:002013-02-13T03:45:41.866+11:00I could have written some of that! o.O Much as I ...I could have written some of that! o.O Much as I enjoyed historical studies when I was in school, it wasn't taught chronologically, so it didn't make sense to me. I've been trying very hard to teach my kids chronological history, including using timelines. We used to keep our timeline on a long piece of butcher paper in the stairwell and add color-coded events to it as we studied. It was so enlightening to realize that when a certain event was happening in one country or region, there was stuff happening AT THE SAME TIME in other parts of the world too. Eye-opening!

My school education in history was so lacking, in part due to the fact that we never actually studied all of world history from beginning to end, it was always US history, then US history again, then some European history---I didn't get a clear picture of how it all fit together. I hated history in school because it made no sense. I think it's one of my favorite topics now that I'm really learning it with my kids.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710205217819146347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515491755026279339.post-59244428915838723852013-02-08T20:44:44.556+11:002013-02-08T20:44:44.556+11:00Thank you Nicole :) Thank you Nicole :) Chareenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794637667607696242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515491755026279339.post-40008639434212219332013-02-08T20:44:28.519+11:002013-02-08T20:44:28.519+11:00I am looking forward to using Mystery of History i...I am looking forward to using Mystery of History in a few years with Sir NChareenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794637667607696242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515491755026279339.post-79209038064695897822013-02-08T20:43:58.840+11:002013-02-08T20:43:58.840+11:00:) Thank you :) Thank you Chareenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794637667607696242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515491755026279339.post-39150293783155832112013-02-08T07:14:06.775+11:002013-02-08T07:14:06.775+11:00This is perfect!

That is until I experienced the joy of completing a cycle of chronological history that I realized the importance and impact it had on my grasp of life in general. The cause and effect was so obvious and it was such a pleasure to do that it changed my perspective on the date thing. :)Chareenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794637667607696242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515491755026279339.post-48807176647922669492013-02-06T20:09:26.851+11:002013-02-06T20:09:26.851+11:00Sarah that sounds like a neat timeline.
