Pioneer Day

Our Pioneer day was a huge success!  The students had the opportunity to make a log cabin, butter, quilt, pomander balls, silhouttes and learned a few new Pioneer games. 
 




Silhoutte's were so difficult because the kids had to stay so still.  Good thing we had a parent volunteer with steady hands!
 
Memory Quilts!

Making a Log Cabin

   We had many students come dressed as Pioneer children and they took Pioneer names for the day.  The girls wore their Calicos proudly and the boys wore their Pioneer hats with pride.



Mrs. Guevin's class is traveling on the Oregon Trail!
 
We got a wooden spinner to fly over the playground!



We hope your child enjoyed this culminating activity.  We reinforced our year long unit of Reduce Reuse and Recycle with using the baby jars over for making butter, using scraps of colored paper for our quilts and recycled paper for the log cabins.

    Student 28: It was fun and we had lots of fun. We liked it a lot. My favorite game was Blind Man's Bluff. I had fun playing Blind Man's Bluff. When I got tagged, my friend told me to use my senses.
