Pioneer Days!

In history we have been talking about the Pioneer Days and the History of America.  One project that we have done to put our learning to use is a model of the day!  We talked about what we wanted, and drew a picture of how we wanted it and how it should go.  This is what my 2nd grader came up with:

She has a cabin that was made out of craft sticks and toilet paper roll for the roof, with an outdoor fire place  made out of modeling clay and yarn for a fire.  She has a grave stone, because so many people died on the long harsh trip out west.  A covered wagon with a man driving (she also made a bull for pulling it, but one of the boys got hold of it.)  And in the upper left corner is a mountain with an Indian on it (went also had a horse that the boys got a hold of.  She was really able to put things together with the things that she learned and loved doing it. 



Working hard on the cabin!
