This week, we’re giving away a Homeschool in the Wood’s (publisher) Record of Time – Timeline Notebook. Retail Value: $37.95
Timelines are a wonderful way to see all of history at a glance! They help visualize the procession of time and how one event spurs on another. They also help you see history by the slice – what was happening at various places in the world at the same time. Timelines help the most visual of learners grasp the abstract idea of “time” in a hands-on way.
Heres what the Record of Time-Timeline includes:
- A 12 x 9 HARD-COVER binding to take the shelf wear and years of use, wrapped around a spiral binding allowing the timeline to lay flat!
- One-hundred and twenty-two durable, ivory colored, cardstock pages, 11 x 8.5 (horizontal), dated from 5000 BC to 2025 AD. Each page contains faint background lines to keep written notations neat as well as notable, inspiring quotes pertaining to the time period!
- An additional 17 pages of maps, both ancient and modern world, to add interest in your childs studies!
- A signature page to personalize the Record Book with your childs name and date!
With all the time and energy your child puts into their timeline notebook, you will want one that not only beautifully displays their efforts, but will stand up to the years of use, providing a keepsake to last their school-life and beyond.

We like to use History.com and the History channel along with National Geographic.com. There also tends to be a lot of historical information on the Travel channel and The Learning Channel. Using the Internet, Digital Satellite tv and Along with reading books about specific times in history I feel my child has received a variety of sources in which to glean information.
Our favorite way to teach history is to travel! Nothing compares to actually going there and seeing the sites in person.
I love this timeline! Wish I knew about it when my oldest started making one!
As a traveling family, my favorite way to teach history is to visit the places where it took place! We also watch educational DVD’s or movies and read lots of wonderful living books. About the only source I don’t use for history is a textbook, unless it would be for reference. Great giveaway! Blessings!:)
we do not have a favorite way to teach history. Because we have not found it yet. we use different textbooks and the history channel but they are not our favorite. Maybe this could be our favorite. thanks
I just discovered this wonderful website, and this timeline looks like an exciting resource. I am always looking for useful new things to add to my history curriculum.
I love reading living books with all of my children–coupled with activities and field trips we learn so much history!
I like to do plays or act them out. However there is not always enough time to do this nor enough people due to the fact that I am homeschooling only one at this time.
My child is a History Buff! He never wants to do anything more! We get every book, every video and try to find everything we can on the internet about History. We sometimes act it out, but lots of time I will observe hime during play time acting out the stories we just learned about! My child will be talking about something and then out of the blue rattle off what war plane was used to take out the Navy at Pearl Harbor! Better yet he will list different guns and what ammo was used!! It’s awsome to hear him, most people will not have a clue to what he is talking about!
We like to read about a subject, listen to a cd and watch a movie that relates to the time period. We then research more information and try to do a scrapbook page. Lastly, we use timeline figures and put them in our homemade timeline books. Although I usuallly don’t plan it this way, I usually “catch” the children playing whatever it was that we studied.
We are still looking for a “favorite” way to teach history. We use lapbooks, reading books or by visiting somewhere and then studying it or vice versa. I do like the Famous Men series.
We enjoy reading books about historical events and people. We also use “The Mystery of History” and Homeschool in the Woods timeline figures. We currently have a homemade notebook, but would love to have the Record of Timeline notebook for our historical figures. Thanks!
I use Mystery of History Volume I for my two daughters. I read the text, they narrate it back to me and we do the reinforcement activities. We use the timeline notebook and the HS in the Woods timeline figures and we also make the memory cards. Sometimes on the more important and interesting figures, we enlarge the figures, glue them to a notebook page and use the text for a writing assignment. I also supplement the biblical characters/lessons with Amy Pak’s Old Testament lapbook activities, it’s going to be great when we complete it, can’t wait! WE LOVE HISTORY!!
The great thing about history is that it is constantly being made, and we are part of it!!! My two sons and I love history, and we use the History through the Ages timeline figures to enhance our Mystery of History curriculum. We have just completed Volumn I and are beginning Volumn II next week. How perfect it would be to use the Record of Time Notebook for our time-line! I would truly love to know that you chose our family to receive this notebook because years from now I would love to be able to look back at the timeline work my sons and I did together. The timeline we created for Vol. I is very large so I will roll it up, and put it in the attic where it will hopefully not get messed up, but the notebook is beautiful and can be kept on our bookshelf in the classroom of our home. Even if we aren’t the family to be blessed with this notebook, you are very generous for the gift. Thank you for the blessing.
In Him,

We love travel to teach history coupled with trips to our local history museum. Our musuem rents special period suitcases that have more info than we can possibly go through in a week’s time. We also like adding PBS DVDs from the library to our reading lessons to reinforce the things that were happening at the time.
My oldest is 8, so our favorite way of learning history is still snuggled up on a couch piled with children and books. Museums, historical sites are really fun. We’ve done a small timeline, but not much as we will soon be moving to the other side of the world. This one looks durable. Thanks for the opportunity.
