Monday - Sit down with your parents and talk about you and all the things you have done and gone through from the time you were born to today. Have fun, laugh, and enjoy learning about yourself. Write down these events and note what year they happened (or about what year). Be sure to have enough information so that you can write 1-3 sentences about the event; and that you have at least 5 events total.
Tuesday - Picture Day! Don't forget to look pretty and bring in your order if you want your school pictures. No homework, but if you want to talk to your parents about growth mindset please do! Tell them what you learned and discuss how you feel about this idea. ***If you haven't gathered personal information for your timeline - let's get that done!*** Wednesday - Chromebook day! Get excited! Be sure to charge your chromebook tonight so that it is ready to go for tomorrow. Your google login is your login for the chromebook. If you experience any difficulty logging in - your teachers will be able to help you tomorrow (not to worry)! Homework tonight is: 1. Double check you have 5 personal events with a date and enough information to write 1-3 sentences. 2. Write a title for your timeline. Note: "Abby's Timeline" works fine but try to get another point by being creative with a title like, "Abby's Awesome Adventures". 3. Collect 5 historical events during the course of your life. Google search suggestion: "Historical events from 2004- present". Be sure NOT TO USE WIKIPEDIA! You can bookmark these events on your chromebook, you can copy and paste onto a google doc, or you may write them in your social studies notebook. Do what works for you. Thursday - Your timeline isn't due until Tuesday, Sept. 5th but you are welcome to turn your timeline in early if you are done by the end of class tomorrow. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO COMPLETE YOUR TIMELINE TONIGHT - YOU WILL HAVE 50 MINUTES OF CLASS TIME TOMORROW TO WORK ON YOUR TIMELINE. Work to get 50% of your timeline complete on the paper if you want to complete the timeline by the end of the day tomorrow. Friday - If you haven't completed your timeline please have it complete by Tuesday when we return to school. |
