History in a Haversack

Grade k-4

On this tour of discovery, students will compare and contrast their lives with those of colonial children using primary sources and material culture in a hands-on and interactive setting. Each student will be issued a haversack containing objects that will be used to illustrate the story of the Carlyle family, their slaves, and servants. (SOL: K.2, 1.1, 3.6, VS.1/US.1, VS.4)
