Fifth grade students traveled back in time to experience a day in the Swedish Colony of Bishop Hill in the 1850s. Students participated in period-appropriate tasks, with boys hauling water, splitting and sawing wood to fuel ovens, and cleaning potatoes, while girls prepared food items such as corn mush, cheese, rhubarb cobbler, and hard tack. After completing their work, students enjoyed a family-style meal together.
