Notes:

• Boardwork here could be a scripture portion or summary of the information. It could also be map work or geneaolgical work depending on what the lesson was about. We did not do map work on every city, that would lead no where. We did not do geneaological work on every person mentioned in Genesis. That would lead no where. We did basic work on select information to give an overview of history and geography.
• We did basic map work--the nations of Genesis 10. After the flood, there were only four men left on the face of the earth--Noah and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. All nations that you see today are descended from these three men. Hannah also learned about Mesopotamia located between the Euphrates and Hiddekel (Tigris). She did not learn all these places at once. It was as we came to them or at appropriate seasons.
• We did geneaological work in Genesis 5 (Adam all the way to Noah's sons--Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Abraham, father of the Israelites would come through Shem).
• We did geneaological work in Genesis 11 (from Shem to Abrahahm).
• The green sheets for Genesis abruptly end at Genesis 25, but Hannah was acquainted with the entire book of Genesis, probably before entering Year 1. The whole book of Genesis is critical. It is here that we meet Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Jacob's sons, the twelve tribes of Israel that we encounter from Genesis to Revelation. Geneaolgical work listing from Abraham to the twelve tribes of Israel is in order. BUT ONLY DO THIS WORK WHEN YOU MEET IT IN THE SCRIPTURES. IT MUST BE SPREAD OUT JUST LIKE IT IS SPREAD OUT IN THE BIBLE. AS YOU GO THROUGH THE BIBLE, YOU WILL FIND THAT GOD REPEATS IT. It does not have to be memorized. We memorized very few things. At different seasons, interesting little songs/chants have come to us like, "Adam to Noah," "The Twelve Tribes of Israel," and "The Twelve Apostles."
• To teach, you have to be taught so if you don't have a grasp on the Old Testament, I suggest that you read Overview of the Bible for an orientation to the Old Testament scriptures. When I embarked on teaching Hannah, one thing that I wanted to do was teach her correct knowledge.
