Timeline example

When I visited a few Montessori schools for my son last fall, I fell in LOVE with the personalized timelines the children created that spanned the hallways. Teaching sequencing and passage of time to young children is a difficult concept, and Montessori&#;s use of timelines truly reinforces the abstract concept of time a concrete way for children.

This timeline activity would also be a great culminating project for the months of May and June when we are wrapping up our academic years.

This is a project that could truly adapt for all elementary grade levels: preschool through eighth grade. Timelines are one of those projects that families save and cherish forever!

We&#;ve included, in this FREE activity, both the timeline template and the age labels (spanning from birth-age 15). I did something similar with my 8th grade class years ago-and despite their teenage angst, I know many of them enjoyed this activity
