This year I started with 1450 and labeled a cupboard. Next cupboard 1500. 1550, 1600, 1650...to 2000. The kids make a 3x5 card for a significant event by labeling it with the year, short summary, and illustration then we slap it up under the date. My favorite is a dead Pilgrim at Roanoke (because he looks like they drew a man standing up then tipped him over...and my 2nd favorite is the beautiful golden cities of Cibola with a big 7 on the wall). We have a few early entries, are getting crowded in the 1600's, are heading to the 1700's, then there's a big blank. We only put 3 items later: 1976 Bill Gates applied for patent for Microsoft (my example) 2000 Most kids in Room 42 were born this year 2008 Barack Obama elected
