The National Watch and Clock Museum has declared Tuesday, November 8, Homeschool Day. Families who homeschool are especially invited to spend time at the Museum and participate from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the following crafts and activities:
- Make a clock from a CD (really works) to take home
- Go on a scavenger hunt through the Museum exhibits
- Discover how one person’s trash can be another person’s junk
- Learn how clocks are used in toys
Registration for the Homeschool Day is required; cost per student is $10 with no charge for one accompanying adult. For each additional adult attending there is a $6 charge with no charge for children under 6 years of age. Please contact the Education Department at 717-684-8261, ext. 237 or email education@nawcc.org to register or for more information.
“Along with other events and workshops, the Museum enjoys planning a Homeschool Day each year because it’s another opportunity for families to see that the Museum is not only educational, but a whole lot of fun too – for all ages,” stated Director of Education Katie Knaub.
