Social Studies
Life Today and Long Ago
What was school like long ago?
We started a new Social Studies unit focused on what life was like long ago. Our class began looking at historical artifacts and students talked together at their tables to answer these two questions:
- What do you think this object is?
- How do you think it was used?
Next week we will continue comparing and contrasting past and present community life (schooling, children's lives, transportation).
Have a wonderful weekend!
