Konos Arranged Chronologically

Konos Curriculum has always interested me a lot... I don't use it, but I do get ideas from it. I own all three volumes...and two copies of Volume 1. One of those is from way back in the first year that Konos was publishing, and the other is still in binder form. Both were bought used at my favoritest favorite used homeschool bookstore (which has, unfortunately, now closed).

At any rate, in the binder copy of Volume 1 was a list someone made of how to arrange Konos chronologically. Exceptionally interesting to me because I teach history chronologically. I've never found this list anywhere else...I don't know who made it...there's no name. I've never seen anything like it on the Internet. So here it is. If you know the person who made this, please let me know so I can give them credit! (I lost this sheet for over two years...I'm not sure whether what I have is complete or not. But here's what I have:

Earth Science (Beginning, Eden, Fall, etc.)- Vol. 2
Ancient Egypt (In Africa-Earth Science Section)- Vol. 2
Greek Scientists (History of Science)- Vol. 2
Olympic Games (more on Greece)- Vol. 3
Tabernacle (great O.T. unit)- Vol. 3
Kings and Queens (King David to the Middle Ages)- Vol. 1
Explorers (Columbus, etc.)- Vol. 2
Early Settlers of America- Vol. 2
Colonial Times- Vol. 2
War of Independence0 Vol. 2
American Presidents- Vol. 2
American Government- Vol. 2
Frontiersmen- Vol. 1
Frontier Life- Vol. 3
Cowboys and the Old West (with horses)- Vol. 1
States and Regions (Boston Whaling, Gold Rush, Civil War, Henry Ford's invention)- Vol. 3
Military- Vol. 1
Flight and Planes- Vol. 1
a combination of Military and Flight can be used for a Unit of World War II Ships and Sailing (which can be scattered here and there)- Vol. 1

Thanks much to whoever originally came up with this list!!!

  1. I remember seeing this or a very similar list when I was looking at Konos before deciding on FIAR wayyyyy back in 1995/6.

    Then moved to Sonlight & FIAR in 1998 before just sonlight in 1999.... where I still am :)

    Still remember the kids crawling through the ear we built in the dining room.
