Blast From The Past
BCES 3rd-grade students took a trip back in time at ABAC's Georgia Museum of Agriculture! The students took part in activities that recreated rural village life from 1870-1910. The hands-on activities included operating a hand press in the print shop, grinding corn to grits, washing clothes on a washboard, experiencing a one-room schoolhouse, and visiting the doctor's office! Our students wore costumes of suspenders, bonnets, and skirts with aprons! They also participated in making a homemade lunch in one of the Village's cabins. Needless to say, these kids had a "blast learning from the past"!
