A Trip Into the Past at Burton Century Village

Our field trip to the Burton Century Village is the kick-off to the next Social Studies unit, History. We will be looking at how time can be shown on calendars and timelines; how artifacts, maps and photographs can show us how people used to live long ago; how science and technology have changed our lives; and how different people's inventions have changed the world we live in. While at the Burton Century Village the students had a chance to see where and how people lived over one hundred years ago. We had a chance to see what their homes looked like, what it was like to go to school in a one-room school house, and what a store looked like back then.

Thought you would enjoy seeing some of the pictures we took today, we especially enjoyed our journey back in time to the one room school house!
