Jackie celebrated Pioneer Day with her 2nd grade student body. She was able to use Jeralins skirt and bonnet from trek which worked perfectly. She could hardly sleep the night before because she was so excited.
Jackie with her two best friends from school. Don't they look so cute and authentic.
After lunch they went out in the field and made up this game. One of the would take their bonnet off and then the would play keep away from the girl in the middle as they threw the bonnet over her head. It was great to see them come up with something fun to do that the pioneers might have actually done.
Jackie with her teacher, Mrs. Lynch who was also very authentic looking.
The 2nd graders put on a show for us parents, they sang a couple of songs and recited a couple of poems about pioneer life.
Jackie got to make some pioneer things. These candles they and dipped. They also made bird feeders, toy game on a yarn, and a clay pot.
Brea and Alyssa found an old tractor to play on while we waited for Jackie to finish up a craft.
And finally the games. This game is called Rats and Cats. Kids were chasing each other as they ran under arms in and out of the circle. They also did sack races and three legged races. They were about to do a tug a war against another class but they ran out of time. All in all a great day.
