SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS At the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum, we believe teachers should design how they want to use our services and lessons to enhance their students learning. So, we offer a menu of lessons to be used as pre- and post-visit activities to choose from to enhance your experience before, during and after your visit. Lessons Social Studies/History Lessons Vocabulary Words Search-A-Word Students become familiar with words they may hear during their visit. Please use with the above vocabulary words.
