PAST PROGRAMS
Here’s what students are saying about our programs:
On-site Educational School Program:
“Thank you for the dancing fans! Thank you for letting us see the pioneer house. We like the scavenger hunt and looking at the rooms in the house. We had a great day!” -Grade 1 Student
“Thank you for the wonderful time we had with you. Benjamin and Charlotte were interesting and funny… We have already put our beautiful masks and fans up…at school. We loved seeing the General Store, the cheese cutter, and the old fashioned desk. It was an extraordinarily awesome field trip.” -Grade 1 and 2 Students
Off-site C.S.I. School Program:
“Thank you. I really enjoyed inspecting each photo because I liked finding all the clues within each photo. I learned that you have to look really closely to find detailed clues to decipher the image fully. That will help me a lot because sometimes the answer isn’t that obvious.” -Student at St. John’s Ravenscourt
“I really loved learning about the pictures and the people in them because I really love putting myself in their shoes. The workshop will really help me when researching from primary sources because I will be able to see more clearly through others eyes.” -Student at St. John’s Ravenscourt
“It will really help me when studying history because I have an idea of how to tell what people in photos are doing and I can write what they are doing in a caption underneath. Thanks for teaching me about this. It was really fun!” -Student at St. John’s Ravenscourt
