Pioneer Days


Claire's first grade class learned about the pioneer days this week. Quilting, farming and one-room school houses were all discussed. The week was to come to a climax Thursday when the class would take a field trip to a museum that recreated those school days way back then. The students were instructed to dress as kids would have back then and bring an appropriate school-day lunch. Sadly, the storm the night before blew out the windows of the museum, so the children were unable to go on their trip. However, they still played games, and had a picnic lunch. Claire was a little dramatic about having to wear a bonnet when Gram brought it last weekend, but was excited by the time field trip day came around! Thank you Gram for outfitting Claire perfectly!

Hey Claire I bet you were the best dressed pioneer in your class, the bonnet made it perfect. Sorry you didn't get to go on your trip. See you soon. Maybe we can do some pioneer things when you come to visit
