Fifth Grade Prairie Days
October 06, 2008
September 29 the 5th grade class had a field trip that culminated a reading unit about the Oregon Trail. In the morning students learned how to make butter and biscuits, that they later ate with their meal. They also spent some time out in the Nature Center with Mr. Fast learning about the prairie that pioneers would have traveled through.
In the afternoon they were shown what types of games pioneer children would have played and they learned about the chores pioneer children would have performed, such as grinding corn into cornmeal and wheat into flour.
