Pictures

Next week we will be constructing personal time lines in class to show important events that have happened in our life.  The students need to begin looking for pictures of events.  Please make sure the students know what they are and when they took place.  Perhaps labeling them on the back will be helpful.  These pictures will be returned to you.  Examples to use are: birth; first day of school, birth of younger siblings, and anything else you can think of.
