[SOA] Archives programming for little kids

[Christine Engels]

Carrie,

I don't have any experience with children that young, but I'd say to go for visual impact. Maybe things like maps, photos or something they can relate to like items about children around their age.

Registration is closed now but the next MAC symposium here in Cincinnati (well, just across the river actually) would be perfect for you.
Engaging Students & Teachers: Integrating Primary Sources in K-16 Curricula
October 18-20, 2012
Covington, Kentucky

If you aren't attending I'd be happy to share resources after the workshop. Just send me a reminder.

Thanks,
Christine

Has anyone on the list ever offered (or had requested) programming for small children?

Today I was contacted by a first grade teacher at our local elementary school, wondering if she could bring her class to visit my archives as part of their lessons on past, present, and future.  This will be new territory for me - I'm used to working with older adult genealogy researchers and undergraduate college students - but I'm excited to give this a try.   Just wondering if others of you had any experience with this population.  Thanks!
