At Governor Aycock's birthplace, 2nd grade students had the opportunity to step back in time and experience what life was like in the late 1800s. They explored the historical surroundings and learned about the daily activities of the era. One of the hands-on highlights was making candles by dipping wicks into melted beeswax, offering a unique glimpse into the craftsmanship and traditions of the past. This immersive experience allowed students to connect with history in a tangible and memorable way.
