1) Historical Event Project - DUE THURSDAY, JANUARY 16th
2) Reading Log - Make sure to record the amount of time and book you read. 1 hour needs to be read by Thursday, January 16th
Assignment:
We are finishing up our unit on timelines and starting to research historical events. Please help us by taking a moment with your child to come up with an important event that has occurred in history from 1900 until now. Then have your child be ready to share this information with the class. We will put all of these important dates together to form a historical timeline of important events.
Be creative… having a variety of events, inventions, etc…will encourage our classroom conversations more when each student shares.
