Children of the 1800s

Thursday, November 13, 2008

Today we talked about what life was like for children in the United States during the 1800s. We learned that some things were very different for kids in the Nineteenth Century and some things have stayed the same. We used paper dolls (something that many children in the 1800s played with) to see what we would have looked like if we had been alive during Elijah P. Lovejoy’s lifetime.
