New Garden Elementary School’s second grade students recently enjoyed a tour of the Winterthur Museum. They learned many interesting things as you can see from the pictures below. They have been studying life during the colonial times. The tour showed the children how the colonial people lived, what their homes were like, objects they used (looms, candle molds, kick toasters, foot warmers, butter churners and molds and sugar nipper). The students toured the rooms, solved riddles about different objects on display, sketched objects, listened to a story, and had a chance to dress up and play in the “Touch It” room.
