About this worksheet
A timeline of my life for fourth grade: a long orange line runs down the page with seven numbered cards on both sides, from I was born (year, where, weight and what my name means) to Now. Each card has a year and an age box, lines to tell what happened and a small square for a drawing or a photo. An ideas box helps kids who are stuck, and a family member can help with the early dates. Fourth graders, about ages 9 to 10, can fill it in on their own and write two or three sentences where it asks.
Tips for using it
- Model it first: fill in a copy about yourself on the board or under the document camera, then hand out the sheets.
- For pre-K and kindergarten, read each prompt aloud and let children answer with a drawing; write their words under the drawing for them if they ask.
- Date every page and file it. A September page next to a June page shows growth in drawing and handwriting better than any report card.
- Print the pennant and the poster on card stock so they survive a few weeks on the wall.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
