Life in Colonial Times: Insights from Mrs. Skardinski's 2nd Graders Spring 2008

In a fascinating project, Mrs. Skardinski's 2nd graders explore the daily lives of children and adults in colonial times. They describe the simplicity of one-room schools, the absence of modern conveniences like bathrooms, and the traditional clothing styles of the era. The kids learn about games still played today, the importance of corn in their diet, and how people traveled and interacted. This project wonderfully captures how life was organized without electricity, illustrating the significant changes from then to now.
