 IB: 
  Where We Are in Place and Time 
In Unit 3 we will look at how life for students today is different from how it was in the past.  We will explore the ways it has changed and how it has stayed the same.



Weeks 1/2 We will talk about how homes have changed over time.  Students in groups will create 4 different homes from different times.  They will also make a timeline showing how the homes changed.

Weeks 3/4 We will explore how clothing for students has changed from the past and compare it to clothing from today.

Weeks 5/6  Students will do rotations with other classes to explore different activities from the past, i.e. games, making butter, paper dolls, etc...) and discuss their connection to today.
_______________________________
 

This unit, we are practicing how to think about things that have already happened. Events and our own behavior that we are either proud of or that we want to change the next time.

Our focus attitude is:
Appreciation

Word of the week:
Week 1/2 - Heute (hoy-tuh) - today (modern times)


Week 3/4 damals (dah-malhlz) - long ago


Week 5/6 spielen (shpee-len) - playing, games

Question of the week
Week 1/2:  Ask your child: What were homes like long ago?  What is different from homes today?  What is the same?


Weeks 3/4:  Ask your child: What were clothes like long ago?  What did kids wear?  Is anything different or the same as what kids wear today?
