Read Kansas! Primary - P-11 My Daily Life in Kansas

The purpose of this second grade lesson is to have students find similarities between their lives and those of people from the past. The students will use Read Kansas! cards to learn about daily life activities of an Osage boy and a pioneer girl. Students will identify similarities and use that information to write a paragraph or draw a picture comparing their daily life with one of these children from the past. The lesson can be completed in one or two class periods. Select each image to see a PDF with the front and back of each card.
