Essential Question: How does chronology help us understand the past?

Success Criteria:

• Being able to create and interpret a timeline
• Use vocabulary of historians to discuss events
• Anchor our previous learning and background knowledge in time and space to set the foundation for future learning

Our goal is to be able to use timelines to visually represent the sequence and timing of major events in history.

How can you help at home?

Encourage your child to read about current events or watch kid-friendly news programs. You can find some links to kid-friendly news websites on the Useful Links page. Help them to connect historical events together in time by drawing timelines and/or associating historical events with personal/family/familiar events.

Go over the notes in their Social Studies binder and the activities on Social Studies Google Classroom. They also have access to the Discovery Education TechBook online by using their Holmdel Google account.
