Interviewing

One of the children recently asked, "How do we know what life was like long ago?"  We discussed how people told stories about their lives that were written down or passed down orally.  We decided to do some primary research on our own.  We interviewed Barbara, a volunteer and former Kindergarten teacher, to find out how her childhood was different from ours.  We prepared our questions ahead of time and waited patiently to speak to her.  We took notes as she spoke.  It felt like the press corps!  Now we are excited to interview relatives or family friends to find out what life was like long ago for our November share theme.

Our para-educator Claire made a time line for us to see about her life in the past.  We had many questions for Claire too about her childhood.
