Old Salem

Our class traveled to Old Salem.  The students worked together to make apple fritters. Students also made a clay tile. The Moravians used clay tiles on their roofs. Additionally, students listened to a story about how flax seeds can become linen. Each student was given a dried flax plant to twist around their finger to expose the fibers used for linen.
