Help your child relate to history with a time line

Many elementary schoolers think that George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Cleopatra all lived in the same time period: the olden days before the children were born! To help your child get a better grasp of history, create a time line together. Unroll some shelf paper. Write important dates from your child's life at the right end (modern history). Then help your child add historical dates in the appropriate places to the left.
