Core Knowledge 2nd Grade Social Studies Timeline Posters & Activity Pack

Add some pizzazz to your classroom this year! This creative resource came about as a special request for a teacher friend. She wanted a way to display a timeline all her social studies units for the year for her 2nd-grade classroom. As we worked on this unit, other ideas for activities emerged until we ended up with this final resource with 38 photo posters and related timeline activities. I hope you enjoy using it as a learning tool in your classroom too! The photo posters can be used in many different ways. Some ideas: ✔Display them around the classroom in chronological order to refer back to throughout the year ✔Post them as a bulletin board display for each domain/unit ✔Display them as you work on each domain then add them to the timeline that circles around the classroom. ✔Use them to introduce each domain/unit Timelines can be a confusing concept for younger students. There are several timeline activities included helping students grasp this concept. There are 6 different timeline activity pages, one for each domain, included in this pack. I have included two different versions of each timeline. One is a cut, sort, and glue activity that matches the dates on the photo posters—great as an activity for centers. The other one is a blank timeline so students can write in their own dates and information for important historical events. There are 38 Photo Posters for the following domains included: ✔Early Asian Civilizations ✔Ancient Greek Civilization ✔American Government: The Constitution ✔The War of 1812 ✔Westward Expansion ✔The Civil War ✔Immigration & Citizenship ✔Fighting for a Cause (Civil Rights) This is companion resource for Core Knowledge Second Grade, Engage NY, CKLA Domain 2: Early Asian Civilizations, CKLA Domain 3: The Ancient Greek Civilization, CKLA Domain 5: The War of 1812, CKLA Domain 7: Westward Expansion, CKLA Domain 9: The U.S. Civil War, CKLA Domain 11: Immigration, CKLA Domain 12: Fighting for a Cause.
