SEASONAL SCHOOL PROGRAMS 2006-2007

WINTER

A Day in the Life of a
Pioneer Child
K and Grade 1
$5 per student
Duration: 75 minutes
November 15, 2006, to January 19, 2007
How was a pioneer child’s life different from today? Students explore these differences as they dress up like pioneers and play act “a day in the life of a pioneer child.” They make a beeswax candle to take home, taste some apple butter, and play a button game too! (A-31)

Butter Making
K to Grade 3
$4 per student
Duration: 75 minutes
November 15, 2006, to January 19, 2007
See the life cycle of a dairy cow first hand as you visit the calves, heifers and cows in our dairy barn. Together, we trace the journey of milk from pasture to the table. Students learn that mammals produce both milk and cream, and get to transform cream into fresh butter that they will eat for a snack. Students also get to handle the tools of yesterday’s dairy farmer — pails, stool, milker, churn, and butter paddles. (A-10)

A Pioneer Winter
Grades 2 and 3
$5 per student
Duration: 2 hours
November 15, 2006, to January 19, 2007
Learn how pioneers prepared for the long, dark days of winter. See pioneer tools, do a little woodworking, make a beeswax candle to take home, and recycle your own rags as you weave a potholder just like in the olden days. Students dress in pioneer costume and have their photos taken to decorate their classroom. (A-26)

Chinese New Year
K to Grade 2
$5 per student
Duration: 90 minutes
January 24 to February 16, 2007
This is the season for New Year’s celebrations in the Far East—a time to take a break from farm work and wish family and friends luck and prosperity in the coming year. Play a rice game to discover what rice is and how it is grown. Learn to use chopsticks, eat a traditional rice treat, make a New Year’s craft, and do a dragon dance. (A-27)
