Each year parents gather to teach the third grade a variety of colonial crafts and skills. Parents play an essential role in the Germantown Academy curriculum, offering their expertise to enrich the children's experience. Units such as this one become more meaningful when students are immersed in activities of the time period. All of our trips, activities, readings, journal entries, and other writing assignments are designed to show our students another age from many different points of view. This approach encourages students to utilize their multiple intelligences. Parent participation is critical to the success of our program.
