First Grade - First Social Studies - 1.7 Families over Time

From EngageNY

Families have a past and change over time. There are different types of documents that relate family histories. (NOTE: Teachers will use their professional judgment and demonstrate sensitivity regarding the varied family structures of their students and availability of information.)

1.7a Personal and family history is a source of information for individuals about the people and places around them.

Students will create personal time lines of their life, school year, and family events with the help of family members. Students will demonstrate an understanding of sequence and chronology and share their time lines with each other.

1.7b Families change over time, and family growth and change can be documented and recorded.

Students will examine the changes in their family over time and how the family growth and change could be documented and recorded.

1.7c Families of long ago have similarities and differences with families today.

Students will examine families of the past and compare them with their family. They will identify characteristics that have been passed on through the generations.

1.7d Sequence and chronology can be identified in terms of days, weeks, months, years, and seasons when describing family events and histories.

Students will use sequence and chronological terms when describing family events.
