K.8 - The Past, Present and Future

Kindergarten - K Social Studies - K.8 - The Past, Present and Future

From EngageNY

The past, present and future describe points in time and help us examine and understand events.

K.8a Specific words and phrases related to chronology and time should be used when recounting events and experiences.

Students will correctly use words related to chronology and time when recounting events and experiences (e.g., first, next, last; now, long ago; before, after; morning, afternoon, night; yesterday, today, tomorrow; last or next week, month, year; and present, past, and future tenses of verbs).

K.8b People use folktales, legends, oral histories, and music to teach values, ideas, traditions, and important events from the past.

Students will retell a story and explain the value, idea, tradition, or important event that it expressed.
