If you have followed me for a while then you may know that I do not use a curriculum for history or science.

I have many reference books that I use  but I mostly put it together on my own.

I love history so it is not too bad for me but it is time consuming.

This is a little rough but it gives you an idea of what I plan on doing in a school year.

I have this as a google document also and will be updating it with what we will be learning for the rest of the school year soon.

If you want to check that out you can view it, here.

You can also view what we did for each subject, here.

Check out how I teach history and science without a curriculum, here.

Sorry that the B.C. dates are a little off from the other timelines I shared!

I left most of the dates at the excepted timeline of the Pharaohs instead because I was not sure what direction we would go.

If you want to read more about the argument against the traditional timeline, check it out, here.

I do not mind the boys hearing different dates.

We use the dates from Answers in Genesis for our timeline but we discuss the reason behind the different dates.

When the boys get older I expect them to look at the evidence and make the decision on their own.

This was a really long post but I hope it helps someone.
