Grade 4 Social Studies Information: Requesting a Museum in a Box
"Museum in a Box" is a program for renting materials to support your work with a topic. Boxes are available for rent from Ohio History Connection for 2 weeks at a time, so you can share among your team and use within classrooms for lessons and as centers. The boxes for First Ohioans are being scheduled now into November, so if you see a topic that you're interested in as you look across our Year at a Glance, please plan ahead and make your reservation.
Here's how:
- Talk with your Social Studies Leadership Team member, review the information about Museum in a Box, and plan with your team. Click here to review info on Ohio History Connection's website or see the flyer you received in your Ohio as America "goodie bag."
- Complete the Museum in a Box Order Form to request a box from the Ohio History Connection.
- When you receive the payment email from Ohio History Connection, forward that email to Diane Caulkins (caulkinsd@gjps.org) AND Erin Schmidt (schmidtea@gjps.org) at central office so that we can take care of payment. (We want you to forward it to both of us, in case one of us is out of the office on that day; payment is needed to ensure that you have reserved a Museum in a Box.
Speaking of using objects, such as those found in a "Museum in a Box, " here is a related article -- an excerpt from this week's Ohio as America update:
