Spine Book teaching - making your own curriculum the easy way

In this post I have some "overviews" that can be used as a guide for you to use to teach from. Like a spine. See my other post on teaching from a spine (HERE). These are just guides, as all curricula and teacher manuals are only a tool for us to use.

The one from Heart Of Wisdom is very good. I say that because it also incorporates science and integrates Bible & Theology heavily. Which in itself should be a top priority in teaching our children at home. (See Deuteronomy 6)

All overviews and especially chronological teaching should, in my opinion, use a timeline. Some families will post one along their hallway or make a big long fold up one (accordian style).

These are mostly based on a four year rotation, as is popular in current education.
