Each lesson takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
Big idea
We can name people and explain their documented contributions.
Words
- important makes a difference for others
- contribution work that helps shape something
- evidence support for a claim
- explain tell why or how
Talk together
- What did this person actually do?
- Why did it matter to others?
- Which source helped us know?
Get ready
- All learned people source cards and child’s prior belief/action evidence; no added biography to memorize.
How to help
Let your child listen, look and try before you explain. Point to the next picture if needed. Accept drawing, pointing or a voice response; writing is optional. Save the child’s own work with a date.
