The Small Things that Make Up the Big Things in Life
"Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together."
-Vincent Van Gogh
It is the small things that make up the big things in life.
Within every moment we are accumulating the grand things little by little.
We gather curriculum for our homeschool for the year ahead which we glean and grow from, but sometimes it is the little, seemingly insignificant things, that spark ideas.
To touch and to see and to put the pieces of the puzzle together sometimes comes in the form of timeline cards strung up to see history and how it all came to be displayed before our eyes.
To put faces to names of kings and queens, Native American tribes, and saints that we have read about within the pages of books.
To match up pieces of art that we have studied and painted together.
To find excitement in routine in caring for our home with daily reminders of how we can care well for it together as a family.
These may be little things but they accumulate to be the big things creating memories and learning that stay with us for a lifetime.
These wonderful resources from The Peaceful Press are our $5 Learning Resources that go hand in hand with our curriculums but also can be used on their own.
We hope that they help your family to learn and grow and create memories together that will last a lifetime.

The Playful Pioneers Timeline Cards The Kind Kingdom Timeline Cards & The Precious People Timeline Cards
Keeping a timeline is a way to provide a visual reminder of people, places and events you have studied. A timeline can be a blank sketchbook which you fill with dates and notes about history, it can be a ribbon along a wall with figures or pictures affixed to in chronological order, or it could even be a simple clothesline lined with notes written on index cards and placed in chronological order using clothespins. There are many simple ways to make a timeline work for your family.
The beauty of a timeline is that it creates a framework to make sense of all the books you are reading within the grand scope of history. For instance, although you might read a book about Harriet Tubman one week, and a book about the French Revolution the next, noting the events or people on a timeline can help you make connections about how these people and events fit together.
