My Timeline Journal

This 21-page printable Timeline journal covers from 7500 BC – 2050 AD. Keeping a timeline over several years allows your students to visualize how history fits together and to keep a record of what they have learned. This method of learning is compatible with and encouraged by Classical, traditional, and Charlotte Mason learning styles.

I struggled to find a timeline journal on Amazon that wasn’t missing pages, so I decided to make my own printable version. This can be 3 hole punched and put into a three-ring binder, or spiral bound to make a heirloom version.

The benefit of having your timeline in a book is it reduces wall clutter. It also allows your student to personalize their book with what they remember, which gives them personal connections.

Based on my research it is best to keep one book from Kinder – 4th and another 5th- high school. This gives your students time to learn what it looks like to keep a timeline, and then a chance to create an heirloom version of what they are learning. Personally the kinder- 4th drawings my students have created are the cutest things I’ve ever seen.

When faithfully kept, the global connections my kids have made as we study various continents have been so much fun to watch.

Personally, I like this “Timeline” version for Kinder – 4th, and the “Book of Centuries” for 5th – the end of High School.

I recommend printing it on 28-pound paper. If you send it to the print shop use these directions. “28lb, black and white double-sided, color print first page, spiral-bound laminated first and last page.”

For a cheaper version “28lb, black and white double-sided, color print first page, spiral-bound with protective clear covers”

The cheapest version of course is self-printing, 3-hole punching, and putting into a 3-ring binder.

Can be used alongside my  “Around the Ancient World” curriculum
