1st Graders Travel Back in Time at the Hagley Museum
Every November, the first graders are transported back to a time when clothes were wrung through a wringer as they experience the way individuals lived in the past at the Hagley Museum. The students had a great time participating in daily 19th century activities, such as baking cookies, writing with a quill pen, and dressing in period clothing!
