Students are able to engage in hands-on activities so they can think, act, and reflect from a Puritan's perspective. According to my students, "We loved pretending to be at school as if we were Puritans! School was so different compared to what we do today! Our favorite part was playing the games that Puritans played a long time ago - they were very different from our games at home, but so much fun!" Lyndsey Goldstein - 3rd grade Teacher - Freetown Elementary School January 2025 Digging up Colonial America: Participants are invited into the home of Thomas and Prudence Grey, a colonial home dating back to mid 1700’s Virginia. Here they are introduced to their daily life of the times through storytelling and objects found in the home. Participants will then be invited to join the team of “archeologists” in the backyard of the home where a simulated dig has been set up. This program is designed to provide participants with an introduction to the science of archeology and explores how artifacts serve as valuable clues in studying about the past. |
