[LM_NET] Elementary Colonial Ideas Please??

[R Schulte <netterscraps@GMAIL.COM>]

I am working on inviting the elementary schools in our area to the public
library to celebrate 'colonial day'.  I have been lucky enough to be chosen
as 1 of 20 libraries in the nation to receive the John Adams Unbound
traveling exhibition through the National Endowment for the Humanities.  The
exhibiton arrives in 3 weeks!

I have an amazing speaker coming to speak to middle school and high school
students, but would really like to find a way to get some elementary classes
here.  I am targeting 4-6th grade, and was hopping to do a day where they
come and travel to various stations to learn about colonial life.  SO, does
any one have any suggestions for the stations I can put together?  I don't
have a ton of money, but would like to make as much of it hands on as I
can.  I am open to all thoughts and suggestions to make this a successful
adventure for the students.

THANKS!
