The Clio Club: An Extracurricular Model for Elementary Social Studies Enrichment
Ronald V. Morris
Students traveled to the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial and learned what Abraham Lincoln’s life was like when he was their age. Students visited the Lincoln living history farm, the site of the Lincoln cabin and the Nancy Hanks Lincoln burial site. When they entered the cabin, they felt the heat from the fire and smelled the smoke. They realized their room at home might be the same size as the whole Lincoln home that housed eight people. Students climbed the pegs in the wall to peer into the loft. Rangers demonstrated spinning and cooking, and the students examine the crops and the animals on the farm. Students tried pounding corn into corn meal and smelled the cottage cheese curds hanging from the tree to drain the whey before making cheese.The National Park Service ranger identified the tools the Lincoln family used on the farm and let the students try their hand with a wedge and a maul to split the logs into rails. Students used a frow to split a wood shingle, a river to break out the shingle, and the shaving horse with a drawknife to smooth it.
