Timeline Units 7 through 12

I uploaded a video of the timeline units 7-12 (all that we covered before Christmas) at youtube because it was too big to load here.

Unit 13 Timeline

I think that we should keep our timeline edits and handsigns for next year.  For one thing, I don't know if Schola Rosa has corrected the CCM timeline in the same way that we have.  For another, as Sandy mentioned to me recently, sometimes it helps to know the reasoning behind the handsigns.  And finally, I just think its a shame to let go of all the hard work the kids have done over the past two years on the timeline.  I can post videos, and print out a corrected timeline for our CCM books.  What do you think?

If we continue, our little "timeline break" now puts us on schedule to learn the last six units on schedule.  Here is Unit 13, which I taught to the kids back in January.  I can continue adding these for the rest of the year, and go back and do videos for Units 7-12, too.

Labels

Here are some ideas for labels, so that future generations of CCC moms (or, us... when we have memorized so much information we can no longer remember anything else) can look for helpful tips.  If your post doesn't fit into any of these, no label is fine, too.  Comment below with further suggestions if there is something we might post about regularly I missed.

Homemaking
Pre-school
History
Geography
Poetry
Grammar
Music
Science
Math
Timeline (for the videos of the signs)
Scripture
Catechesis
Teaching Memory Work
Other Homeschooling (in case someone wants to post about their phonics or math ideas, etc.)
Year One
Year Two
Year Three

So, as an example, if I found a great history resource for Ancient History, I might write a post up about it and label it History, Year One.  Down the road another mom could click on the label "Year One" and get all our notes and ideas.
