Page 4 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • February 12, 2014 Midland Park Fifth graders travel in time, not distance Fifth grader students at Highland School in Midland Park were lucky enough to time-travel on a recent school day, but they didn’t go far. They went right to their own gymnasium. After a short presentation by Terry Hess of Journey Back in Time on the clothing, food, jewelry, toys and gold mining that were common during the pioneer days, students were able to have a hands-on experience with those very items. They were able to card wool, pan for pyrite, create corn- meal, and play with common pioneer toys. Some students even practiced “shaving” as Pa would have and washed clothes like Ma.
