I teach grade 2 and work on the "changes" concepts mainly through a research project on personal family history - kids interview grandparents etc to find out any immigration history or old family stories (be sensitive to any adoptees you may have). We also read a lot of stories about early times like "When I was young in the Mountains", "Sarah Morton's Day" and a whole series of books about old time schools.games,forts etc. We do Then and Now pictures,write about life without electricity,once we had an "old fashioned day" with period clothes,lunch in a little basket,homemade horn books and a spelling bee. I never quite get the "lingo" of standards but I think you can fit in lots of different approaches.
