Necessary Books:

These are the main textbooks used in this course and are needed almost daily.

  • The Bible – You are welcome to use the translation of your choice. Discussion questions and review worksheets are based upon the King James Version unless otherwise noted.
  • Adam and His Kin, by Ruth Beechick (Mott Media)

Optional Resources:

You will build a timeline and a notebook with your children this year. The following resources are not necessary but can simplify things.

  • History Through the Ages: Timeline Figures (Creation to Christ), by Amy Pak (Homeschool in the Woods). We suggest the “Creation to Christ” set, which you can also use for Year 2. Note: This set does NOT include all of the dates that we will use in this curriculum.
  • Book of Centuries (Cottage Press). Glue the timeline figures (above) into the book of centuries. Year by year, as you study history, this book will become a treasured keepsake.
