Thanks ~ your links are great! I recently thought, "How do we keep record of all that is happening around the world?" and made a free download - Calendar and world map of major events in 2011. We now can keep track through the year of natural disasters, weather events, political events and other current events.
FANTASTIC idea, Nadene!
Thanks so much for sharing!
:)
I like your idea of keeping track with a map! wonderful. I have downloaded it, and would like to keep a copy in the front leaf of the kids journals to update as they write their "This week in history" entries. :)
