Museum Staff

Grades 4-year-old PreK, K, and 1

Students explore the Museum's House & Home exhibition to learn about different kinds of American homes, both past and present. Through the exhibition's photographs and models and a participatory book reading, students learn about the process of building a house and the features common to all homes. Students then create their own houses out of colorful craft materials.

Before registering for My House, My Home, please be sure that any young children attending can maintain focus for the 1.5 hour program. Teachers are welcome to bring a snack to eat during the program if your Museum visit is scheduled during the students' normal snack or lunchtime.
