Oh, so Busy Colonists!

In the Sawmill at the Old Aurora Colony
Today was our first Field Trip of the year, and I think it was a huge success! By now hopefully you've heard all about the fun things we got to see and do today as colonists. Here is a collection of pictures from our day. 

Oh, and a BIG THANKS to our super parent volunteers~ Mrs. Bader, Mrs. Bartley, Mrs. Herndon, Mrs. Maguire, Mrs. Marks, Mrs. Mitchelldyer, Mr. Robison, Mrs. Silva, Mr. Stores, and Makana Stores! 

Learning about life in a pioneer cabin
Parents, if you have photos of the day, please email them to me or send in a cd or       thumbdrive next week. Thank you!
Spinning wool into thread..



..and measuring it, too!


Who's in the box???


Madi carrying water from the well.
Mixing our dough and churning our butter

Learning badmitton and Graces

Oh, and hopscotch, too!


Stitching Samplers

And hand-dipping candles.

Whew, what a day! Have a wonderful weekend. We begin our unit on Native Americans on Monday!
