4th Grade 1900 School and Life Experience<\/span><\/h1>\n
Ever wonder what it was like to live in the early\u00a01900’s?<\/strong><\/address>\n

Students and youth groups will role play the life of a child growing up in Wisconsin during the early 1900’s.\u00a0 Students begin the experience by first dressing in period costumes then travel to different rooms of the McGowen house.\u00a0 Costumed interpreters will guide students in setting the table, washing clothes with an old scrub-board and tub, and churning butter.\u00a0 After the chores are done students will “go to school” in the one room school house.<\/p>\n

Although students of all ages will enjoy this learning experience, lessons and activities have been designed for 4th grade students.\u00a0 This experience meets the following 4th grade Wisconsin DPI Standards in Social Studies:<\/div>\n
