If you chose to teach your kids the king lists,

[Robin Hood]

would you include the years in which they ruled also? :thumbup1: or :thumbdown:
That would be the lists in the back of The Kingfisher Encyclopedia, like The Kings Of England.

I haven't included dates in the grammar stage years, because I know they will get to the dates on the timeline in logic stage. It was enough that they just memorized the names, to have the peg in their minds.

That sounds good; we are still in the grammer stage and that just seemed like a lot. I wasn't going to start a time line until later either.

We're doing the kings of England (2nd grade) and using a poem:

William the Conqueror long did reign,
William his son by an arrow was slain...

It makes it easier to remember and gives a little hook so that you remember who was who. No dates though.

Could you share some more info. on this poem. Sounds interesting and I think I'd like to use it later on with SOTW 2.
