Frontier Days

As a teacher, I want to give my kids experiences that will help them learn material and make it come to life. Recently we did a unit on the Westward Movement, and the pioneers who came west to make new lives for themselves.

I was able to have this company come to our school called Pioneer Living - they are a traveling museum, and bring everything to us! I was so blessed - they really worked with us and charged us only for their gas! The man who we worked with, Terry, was so wonderful!! The kids had a fantastic time and got to play with and touch everything.

They were able to pan for gold, card wool, grind corn, pump water, play with old-fashioned toys, sit in a tipi and even shave! Below are some pictures from our day...
