Education Programs The Museum introduces students to a Dutch Colonial family in Brooklyn with exciting, hands-on experiences. Originally a Dutch West India Company bouwerie (farm), the Wyckoff Farmhouse is the only structure in the City surviving from the period of New Amsterdam. From our 350 year old corn cob to the original one-room home that housed 13 people, students discover this earliest period of European settlement and the life experiences of rural Brooklynites over three centuries. We offer on-site and outreach school programs, camp programs and professional development workshops. The Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum offers curriculum-based school programs and materials have been designed to directly connect to New York State Learning Standards. School programs are geared towards grades 2-5 and can be adapted to accommodate grades K-7. School year bookings are available beginning June 1st for the upcoming 2009 - 2010 school year. Our programs use cooperative learning, inquiry, discovery and multiple intelligence strategies to provide students with a first-hand experience of life on a Dutch-American family farm. Included in all programs, teachers choose one of four hands-on workshops to compliment the history program experience; butter churning, herbal sachets, quill writing with natural ink and Colonial games & toys (this is a seasonal activity). For our seasonal science program, we offer Pesto- and Pickle-making as the hands-on activity. Our school program year is from September 8, 2009 through June 19, 2010. Programs are Tuesday—Friday at either 10:00 am, 11am or 12:30 pm. School programs cost $180 per class. (Maximum of 30 children with 5 chaperones, classroom teachers and one hands-on activity.) If you make your reservation between June 1st, 2009 and September 15th, 2009, you will receive a $30.00 discount by mentioning the code, School2010.
