Montessori Culture (History): A Child's Timeline

I think it is pretty much self-explanatory, but here's what we did:
He chose a light-colored piece of construction paper and drew as straight a line as he could (I think he did a great job). Then I helped him draw lines for each year of his life.
We thought of important things that happened each year and, between the two of us, wrote them down where they belonged. It was simple making it because he has lived a mere 4 years. I can't imagine if I had to make my timeline of 34 years! :)

A.C.E. (Accelerated Christian Education)

K and I have been absolutely loving A.C.E. I adjust it to our needs and schedule and it is working out so well that we will continue using it indefinitely. As he finishes his PACEs (booklets) and memorizes Scripture, he gets a golden star each time and that is an encouragement to him. He is doing great with this program. It isn't individualized yet (as it is in the older grades), but that is ok. It gives us an opportunity to develop a special rapport that we couldn't if he were just working on his own.

The best part about it is that I grew up with this program and now I get to use it with my child. Eventually, A will use it, too. :)
