This class is all about the American Girl Doll Samantha Parkington! In this 3 week class, students will enjoy learning about life in America in 1904, while also learning about the American Girl Doll Samantha. The students do not have to pre-read the books before class, but they can if they wish! We will learn all about the Edwardian Era in America in 1904, that followed the Victorian Era. Throughout the classes, we learn all about the progress that was happening in America, including factories. We will learn about the women's suffrage movement. Finally we will learn all about what life would have been like for Samantha growing up in America in 1904. We will end the last class by making a gingerbread house for your doll, just like Samantha would have! (We will be using the pattern from Americangirlideas.com) *Note that it is recommended that the student use a glue gun for class #3. It is fine for the student to have a parent help them with this! There are many cold glue guns that work just as well, but are not as hot!
