Natalie Kinsey-Warnock’s Storykeepers 3-day Workshop was a great learning experience!

Children were asked to conduct research on a family member, a family story, or family artifact. Students examined old photographs, primary and secondary sources, census records, artifacts, and newspaper articles to use in their own research.
