Today's Classroom Activities :

Our Year Ahead

Our Year Ahead
Social Studies Set up a timeline that can be left up all year. Mark the first day of school, then have students mark significant events, such as holidays, field trips and report card times. Ask students to write descriptive phrases on the timeline about each event. Keep it updated throughout the year.

Use ReadWriteThink's interactive tool to help you create a classroom timeline.

In A Celebration Timeline your students will learn how to make and use a timeline about our national holidays, and appreciate the unique nature and shared values of family celebrations.

Transportation Timelines
Social Studies Assign pairs of students a period in history to research. The partners should gather information about that period's modes of transportation, transportation issues, historical events in transportation, etc. and construct a portion of a transportation timeline. When the research is completed, combine the work from all of the groups into an extended transportation timeline to post in the hallway.
