Timelines

Last week our second graders started their life timelines. Earlier on in the week, we read a short reading passage about timelines so that we could better understand what a timeline is and how we can use timelines. After reading this passage, students better understood what they would be creating.



















Students were given a large blank piece of paper with a line through the middle. It was their job to fill in different events along with their dates to complete a timeline of their lives. Before students began, they ordered the events of their lives as first, second, third, etc. Students wrote things such as when they were born, when they first started walking and talking, when they learned how to ride a bike, and many other events on their timelines.


















Once students had filled in all of this information on their timeline they could either draw pictures to go along with the events or glue on pictures they had brought from home. All of these timelines are now being showcased in the hallway outside of our classroom. Feel free to visit and read through our timelines!
