Bring the 17th and 18th centuries to life in the classroom with a set of reproduction objects, curated by Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation Education staff and master teachers.
Thoughtfully selected and packaged, the objects in this kit help students connect with people and events of the past, stimulate curiosity and critical thinking skills, and encourage a deeper level of learning.
In addition to reproduction artifacts, each JYF Classroom Resource Kit includes access to an ever-growing resource of lessons and activities designed to be used with the kits to support and enhance student learning about the past and its connection to the present.
Ideal for classroom, school, or district use.
