Schoolhouse Identities

It was an exciting day in 221! Our community members from 2010 found out their new identities from 1850. When we visit the schoolhouse next week, the students will pretend to be one of the actual students from a school in Needham in the 1850s.

2010 students researched their 1850 identities. They learned who their parents were, their siblings and cousins. Some of them were able to find photographs of the houses they lived in, and many found where their houses were on an old map from 1876.

Thanks so much to Mrs. Martell for her incredible knowledge and assistant with technology!

Ask your child to tell you their "new" name. Check out this site and ask your 2010 student to show you more!
