Third Grade Field Trips

Students will be experiencing how colonists used their resources to make butter. Students will learn that it was not an easy thing to do and they will be able to taste their yummy homemade butter with saltine crackers. 

Students will learn and review more about the 13 colonies through a favorite game-based learning game: BINGO!

Students will review how the thirteen colonies were unique based on the region.

The instructor will then lead them into making a colonial toy – whirligig. The whirligig will be divided into thirds, labeled New England, Middle, South. Students may draw things unique to those regions. On the other side they can color it how they would like. 

Students will go on a farm tour to target how families used to use their land for different  things – Barn, Commissary, Blacksmith, Wash House, Well, Inside of house (changes from colonial times to now). 

If time permits, students will end this tour with a Games of the Past activities.

Students will learn about the journey of food from farm to table. They will understand the process involved in converting a raw material into finished products.
