Welcome to Living History Threads, level 1|2!
Level 1|2 is intended for use in first- and second-grade classrooms. Most schools combine these grades for history class and teach Levels 1|2 and 2|1 in alternating years, but Threads also works well in single-grade classrooms. Level 1|2 is designed for 30-35 minute class periods, three days per week for 16 weeks. The following materials are needed:
-
-
Teacher’s Guide x 1
-
Classroom map set x 1
-
Timeline (shared with Level 2|1) x 1
-
Flashcard set x 1
-
Twenty-seven read-aloud books (1 copy of each title)
-
Student booklet (1 per student)
-
Student desk maps (two maps – one set per student)
-
No tests are included in Level 1|2, as we believe the focus of history class in lower elementary should be simply to introduce students to the joy of studying history. Assessment is built in through daily oral review.
