Citizen Kid
Description
Our farm—past and present—plays an important role in our community. On this field trip students will learn about their place in the community and the roles of children at the turn of the 18th century. Students will try out the different ways that children in the 18th century helped on their family farm, what school was like for the children at the time and what kids did when there was time to play. All of this learning and growing helped children to become good future citizens in their community. This program is approximately 2 hours long.
