Lines of Time










Line of Time for Ella Enchanted is our first in this line. It is meant for upper elementary/jr. high levels. It is a sequential timeline of key events in the story. Some use the event cards as the story is read or after a chapter is completed. The way you use it would depend on your child's ability and needs. As the timelines can go horizontal or vertical, it makes a great wall hanging while the project is being completed. When finished, these can be folded and placed in a binder for year end review or a collection of Lines of Time (coming soon!) can be displayed by hanging them all.

What a POCKET of TIME Looks Like







Here is an example of our Pockets. Depending on the size of the book, there can be 1-3 pockets per page. Large books hold 2-3 pockets to help save you paper and ink.



Pockets of Time for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory


This Pocket of Time was adapted to fit this particular book. Yummy candy bars for every chapter!!! All 30 candy bars are stored in 4 pockets. Every candy bar has four labels to go around the candy bar.THe labels contain events that happened in the story. The first event lable is placed closest to the bar. After all the labels are wrapped, the golden seal binds them together to be placed in the pocket. Adorable!!!
