Hi, has anyone created a spreadsheet to help with parent preparation for this level?  For example it would be handy to have a list of supplies needed for each lesson and what the supplies are used for (craft/experiment) in that lesson.  Also it would be helpful to know what we might need to prep in advance of each lesson eg in SS Egypt and Mesopotamia Lesson 2 the student is directed to seek help in finding a documentary about archaeology.  I would like to bookmark online resources like this documentary ahead of time.  I typically plan 3-6 months at a time.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Alexandra,

This is Keith with Moving Beyond the Page. We do have a Getting Started section on our website that is available to everybody that includes lists of materials for each unit throughout the year. 

Getting Started with Age 11-13

We also have an IdeaShare section where parents can share links and other items related to their experience with the lesson. Here is the link to Lesson 2.

Idea Share - Egypt and Mesopotamia - Lesson 2

I think this link will provide you with some of what you are looking for. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
