Children Past & Present
This Museum in a Box will give students a peek into children’s lives over a century ago, allowing them to compare and contrast their own lives with children from the past.
A toy, a game, a funny story read from an old primer – all these things can ‘connect’ students to the past. Students will be able to play with old-fashioned toys (some similar and some very different from the toys they have at home!).
They will also learn about what it was like to be a student in the 19th century. While some things are different, students today are reaching for the same goals students in Nevada pursued over a century ago:
- Learning to read and do mathematics
- Learning to write
- Learning to master language
- Preparing to become adults in their communities
