History of Needham

We are just beginning our new unit on the History of Needham! One big idea that I would like students to understand from this unit, is that things change over time. We will learn specifically how many things have changed in Needham over many years. To get us started, third grade historians started thinking about how they think things have changed. Children worked through a carousel brainstorm (moving in groups from station to station) to list changes they know about in jobs, children's lives, schools, houses and transportation. Talk to your children about the changes you have experienced. They'll be sure to tell you all about the changes that have taken place in Needham as we get going. :o)Melanie
