Timelines

In Social Studies we are learning about timelines and how they mark important milestones of a person’s life.  The students will be examining a couple historical figures timelines and then they will be creating their own!  To make our own timeline, we first have to gather important events and dates.  Please help your child record landmark events, making sure to include the year (and date if you remember).  Please include the following facts if possible:



-Birth (date and location)
-Pets (joining family)
-Vacations and trips
-Birth of Siblings
-Moving or changing schools
-Milestones such as first tooth, walking, first bike, etc.




This information is due by Wednesday. October 21st.

Thank you for your help!

Historians and Artifacts

Our class became historians for the day and observed their classmates' artifacts. The historians tried to learn as much as they can from their classmates by these artifacts. After they made their observations, we asked the owner of each artifact to explain their artifact's story. This was a great way to learn more about each other and we even found many things we had in common with each other that we didn't even know we had!
