Life as an Early Settler!

Our students experienced a fun-filled day in the Pioneer Village at the MacSkimming Outdoor Education Center today! What a great way to compliment and add to all that we have learned in the classroom about life as an early settler. Students enjoyed a variety of activities throughout the day: learning about and doing a variety of early settler chores (parents, you would have been proud of your child!) like tapping trees, carrying water and ice blocks, grounding corn flour, using antique tools, building a log cabin as a class, and experiencing what it was like to be a student learning in a one-room schoolhouse! Special thanks go out to our parent volunteers and the wonderful staff at MacSkimming for helping make this field trip a great success! Here are some pictures from the day:

    It was a wonderful trip! Such a great experience to see kids work together and that too hard physical work! Thank you Mr. Jackson for taking the kids on this amazing adventure
