Second Grade held a Pioneer Day on March 14. We had lots of fun in our classroom. View some of our activities in the pictures below.
Mrs. Quick, our librarian came into our classroom and brought a quilt she had made. She called in The Laura Ingles Quilt. Each square matched a story from one of Laura's books. She told us how the pioneers used to make quilts.
We talked about the clothing and hats pioneer children might wear.
This is a real pioneer bonnet.
More pioneer clothing. Pioneer children had to work hard. We did some "work" in our classroom that day.
We gathered wood and made fires.
We played marbles.
Here is some wheat that has been ground into flour by hand and rock.
Some students built pioneer buildings.
Log home construction.
Building a bridge for the train to cross over.
We even had to make our snack. We took real cream and poured some into each container. Then every student had to take turns shaking the container until the butter set up. Then we got to eat the butter on crackers.
Here is Our Class Quilt. Look for your page. It takes everyone's help to make a quilt. We decided that working and playing like a pioneer was fun for the day, but doing the real stuff was probably pretty hard to do.
