What a fun morning recently when Fourth Class students and their parents returned to life on the frontier! Thanks to Mrs. Lammert for this summary:
“The day started with a fascinating, true story told by a descendant of a woman who journeyed to the west in the mid 1800s. What an experience for the students to hear about all of the trials and tribulations even the pioneer children endured as they crossed the plains into the western portion of the United States! We continued our day going through a series of stations experiencing what life would have been like for pioneer children. We played games such as ‘graces,’ a unique version of tug-of-war, and even a bean bag juggling game. Another station included making silhouettes of the children and a marbles game that was popular during that era. We then designed and made our very own lanterns, while enjoying some delicious, old-fashioned flapjacks. What a day!”
