This year for Social Studies we are exploring ancient civilizations. To begin we have started to explore the idea of history and why history is important. I keep telling kids that history is stories. In order to develop an idea of world view, we are going to be exploring the idea of perspective and discuss how the same event can be different depending on perspective.
Kids started creating their own history timeline and marked in their own stories. I would love it, if you are able, to discuss a story or two with your child tonight that they could add on their timeline. If you are able to tell the story from a parent perspective and then talk about the child perspective that would be helpful for their work tomorrow. Maybe there is a time you remember from when they were a baby...or it could be a recent memory and they could share their take on the memory and you tell them your interpretation of that same memory.
Thanks for having these discussions and talking about school at home!
Again, please remind students that they should be reading nightly!
Thanks!
