"The Book of Centuries is a great joy to the owner, and even in these busy days it is possible to find some time, however short, to add an illustration from time to time." - G.M. Bernau, "The Book of Centuries", PR Vol. 29

One of the biggest requests that I receive is , "Can you share your pictures of your children's Book of Centuries?" And so, that is what this post is about! Making entries in their BOC should be a happy habit, a form of vitality. For the most part, I have made it a choice for my children (beginning around age 9 or 10) during the afternoon hours. But we have tried something different lately and it has worked well.

I was inspired by the idea of the "Book of Centuries Tea" mentioned by Bernau. She said, "Children always take a keen delight in their books, and the writer has had more than one happy 'Book of Centuries Tea,' when various children have brought their books and compared progress with each other." Doesn't that sound sweet? So now, when our TBG Community meets, everyone brings their BOCs. We take about 15 minutes to go around and show what we entered and maybe a word about why we chose that artifact. This has worked well and has actually revived everyone's interest in their work.

Our BOCs are from bookofcenturies.com (Laurie Bestvater). She has lots of wonderful BOC helps on her website. Riverbend Press carries a slightly different version - also lovely. I encourage you to choose a BOC that will be a lifelong companion for your student.

Treasures of Local Museums - Book of Centuries * Sage Parnassus

This year in TBG, I wanted to encourage the students to explore the treasures in their local museums. Here in southwest Minnesota, they are usually quite small affairs but often staffed with knowledgeable volunteers and workers who may have lived through much of what is displayed.

The Borrowing Days of March * Sage Parnassus

Yesterday, my 15-year-old daughter and her friends wanted to, needed to, just get outside in the slightly warmer weather! They decided to go to Kilen Woods State Park which is about 15 minutes from our home. There is a Parents' Review (Vol. 27) article titled "A Walk in March" by Florence Haines and I [...]
