Today all of the students were "experts" in one room of the house. I was a kitchen expert and taught the kids about the various appliances used in the early 19th century. I educated myself as well as the kids. Saahm Aresh and I also scared the kids with the Kellogg House's infamous two way cabinets. We moved the cabinets from the kitchen causing them to move in the dining room where the kids were situated. I cannot wait for my next visit.
Today at the Heritage Museum, we helped out giving tours to the children from Anneliese's School. I was in charge of three rooms: the staircase, the children's room, and the schoolroom. In the staircase room, I explained to the children Hiram Clay Kellogg's fascination with ships and his integration of this fascination into this house. In the children's room, I entertained the kids by showing them all of the interesting toys that the Kellogg children used to play with. Finally, in the schoolroom, I gave the kids a glimpse of what it was like to be a student in the early 1900's. It was an interesting experience helping out the our guides and informing Orange County children of the rich heritage that used to be prevalent in this location.
Today at the Heritage Museum of Orange County, my service learning group and I each took a room of the Kellogg House and gave a tour to 4 groups of preschoolers. My room was the back parlor. I taught the kids about the piano (which is missing an octave), the games they played, pictures, and the telephone system. I had a ton of fun teaching the kids and even scared some with the ghost drawers. The instructors let us take control of the tour, but were there for us if we forgot something. I am excited to start working on our video project.
Today we started the day with touring little preschoolers around the museum. We divided the Kellogg House in 2 people to a room. Chloe and I were in charge of the dressing room which allowed the kids to psee what it would be like to dress-up the way children in the Victoria Era did. Interacting with the kids was the highlight of the day although there were some chuilden that refused to put on the outfits. It was overall a good day.
Today my service learning group and I went to the Heritage Museum, where we all helped give tours of the Kellogg house to four groups of young pre-schoolers. We each acted as experts for a particular room. I was an expert on the dining room and gave a detailed tour of it. This was a good experience for me for a couple reasons. For one, it gave me the new experience of being a tour guide and helping spread information. Also, I am not exactly a kid person, but this gave me an opportunity to try to get closer to and better acquainted with kids.
Today I gave tours to a group of Preschool students from Enelaise Preschool. In the Kellogg House, I was assigned to the Front Parlor. Here, I explained to the children about the natural characteristics of the house, the Edison Talking Machine, a stereoscope, and a victrolla. Even though I was reserved and very nervous at the beginning, as the groups came and went, I became more confident. As well as my Parlor, Lex and I contributed to Spencer’s Kitchen project as well. Against my initial beliefs, this service learning was very successful.

Chloe said... Dress Up Today, Chantal and I were in charge of the dress up room. We tell the kids about how people dressed in Victorian times and help the kids try on clothes from the time period. We had a lot of fun, but not just with the dress up. The most fun was hearing what the preschoolers thought about the time period before we told them anything. From their parents, teachers, or TV, many of them had heard some pretty accurate things. For the most part, however, the kids had their facts pretty twisted. In addition to being hilarious, it made us feel that we were actually able to teach the kids something.
