A timeline begins…
Aug 10th, 2010 by lapazfarm
I had written in an earlier post my plans for history for JBug. Part of that is listening to the audio version of Gombrich’s Little History of the World, and making a mini-poster for each chapter. These posters will then be hung on a line along the top of the wall, timeline style.
Well, the plans are beginning to become a reality and JBug completed her first poster today! I LOVE what my funny, creative girl came up with!
All of the posters will include a date at the top (except this one, of course), an illustration, and a few lines of copywork. (I used a template from the basic notebooking set from Notebookingpages.com and printed it up on cardstock). I assign the copywork, but it’s up to JBug and her vivid imagination to come up with a picture. She LOVES that part!
I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!
How wonderful!
Awesome! The picture took FOREVER to load (not your fault). I left it, got some milk for my daughter in law to take home for my grandson, swept my floor & was getting ready to go outside when I glanced at the computer and the picture had finally loaded! She has a lot of detail with the people, cave, animals and tools.
I love it. It could also make a lovely history book.
That is so great. I tried something similar with both my sons, but neither of them were suitably inspired by the subject matter to put any of themselves into the project. How lovely for both of you that JBug is able to do so.
I love the picture!
Tools and animals – awesome!
Wonderful!
I love the animals she drew–and the serious-looking family posing outside their home!
What a great idea! I love timelines and ones the children make are the best! It’s so much fun to read about the wonderful things you do with your family. I think your blog is great and gave you the Wild about Your Blog Award at http://LivingMontessoriNow.com/2010/08/20/awards-to-happily-pass-on/
Thanks, Deb!
