Things to Do Before Coming

Talk about what they can wear this day - wearing period clothes makes the day more fun!
Share ideas of what to bring for lunch.
One adult for every five students may be requested if doing the full-day program.
Please discuss with students behavior expectations before coming on site. This is not only for the enjoyment of all, but also for safety reasons.
If choosing the 'Home Life' program, please suggest that students wear sun screen and wear layered clothing as at least half of the session will be outside (unless thundering and lightning).
If over 90 degrees, students are encouraged to bring a water bottle and air conditioning will be on in the building.
Teach them one of the lunch recess games as a part of your social studies class.

Lunch time is 30 to 45 minutes dependent upon your arrival/departure. Picnic tables are available outside. All trash should be collected and the grounds should be left trash-free. (Please bring a trash bag with you.) Supervision should be handled by classroom teacher and other staff members. A bathroom break is included within the lunch time. If students finish lunch early, have them play one or more of the games 1890's children would play.
The classroom teacher is encouraged to interact with students throughout the day, particularly if behavior is not appropriate or unsafe. Safety is one of our priorities.
Please ask permission to take any photos.

Debrief with students once returning to school. Using students' ideas and words, complete the survey.
