Creating Timelines

Kindergarten33 minutesCCSS CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.K.3

Learning Objective

I can draw a timeline to show events in order.

Key Concepts

A timeline is a tool that helps us show events in the order they happened.

The past means something has already happened, the present is happening right now, and the future hasn't happened yet.

We read timelines from left to right, and they help us understand what happened first, next, and last.
