Children’s Education Program
Centuries
of Learning in a Day
At
the Canadian Transportation Museum and Heritage Village, we are proud to
offer an excellent Education Program for students in Grade Three and Six
which was developed to be compatible with the Ontario Social Studies and
Science and Technology Curriculum. The feedback from students, teachers and
the Boards of Education in Windsor, Essex and Chatham-Kent Counties over the
years has been outstanding.
Each
of the Education Programs are designed and presented by an experienced
professional, aided by several talented and dedicated volunteers. A day of
fun and learning at the Canadian Transportation Museum and Heritage Village
is a day where young minds are encouraged to imagine and see first-hand what
the text books present in the classroom environment.
If
you would like more information so your class can share in this educational
experience, contact Kathleen Storey, Education Coordinator at 519-776-6909
or e-mail us at education@ctmhv.com.

Grade 3 Teachers: Let us Bring the Pioneer Past to
You!
Pioneer Life - Recycling and Reusing
Let us bring the pioneer past to you. We will bring
historic objects and pioneer information to your classroom for your students
to examine hands on. Students will learn about the resourcefulness of
pioneers and their way of life through their difficult times. Pioneers still
managed to have fun. They will get to play with old fashioned toys and make
one of their very own to keep. They will also learn about the art of paper
quilling and get the opportunity to try it themselves. This is an invaluable
and fun learning experience for your Grade Three class that should not be
missed. It can be done alone or in conjunction with the field trip to the
Canadian Transportation Museum and Heritage Village.
The program is available Monday to Friday any time during
your school year. The program is a 1½ to 2 hour visit. Call the office to
enquire about this program. Cost: $100.00 for the first class, and
$80.00 for any additional classes on the same day.

Grade 3 Teachers: Bring your Class to Experience the
Past!
Pioneer Life
Students discover what pioneer life was like by exploring
Heritage Village and participating in hands-on activities related to the
early settlement of Essex County. Students will make their own butter and
enjoy early settler foods such as bannock bread around the fireplace of an
authentic 1826 pioneer log home. But the chores aren't done! Students also
make their own candles while learning about the labour involved in producing
light for the family home. In the turn-of-the-century schoolhouse, students
experience what school was like for our early settlers including penmanship
practice using an old fashioned nib pen. As they spend the afternoon touring
through the village, students gain an appreciation of community life for our
early settlers.
The program is available Monday to Friday from 10am to
2pm, April through June and September through mid-November. The program can
also be condensed for a half-day visit. Call the office to enquire about
full and half-day programs. Cost: $5.00 per student, no charge for
teachers and chaperones.

Grade 6 Teachers: Discover the Exciting World of
Trade and Motion!
Time Traders and Motion Rules
The Grade 6 program has been designed to closely follow
the Grade 6 Curriculum and incorporate more hands-on participation and fun!
Using the Canadian Transportation Museum facilities, students will spend
half the day learning about the principles of motion and the rest of the day
learning about the importance and history of trade for the exploration and
development of Canada.
During the Motion program, students take a ride through
the evolution of transportation. Using items found in the Transportation
Museum, they then investigate and identify the science behind various types
of motion and discover how mankind's progress is related to worldwide
innovations in mobility.
In the Time Traders session, students learn about the
early history of Canada, particularly the importance of trade in our
country's development. By examining the history of Canada's First Nations
peoples and the early exploration of North America by European adventurers,
students will discover more about the development of the country we call
home.
The program is available Monday to Friday from 10am to
2pm, January through March. The program can also be condensed for a half-day
visit. Call the office to enquire about full and half-day programs. Cost:
$5.00 per student, no charge for teachers and chaperones.
