Tomorrow we head off to my third to the last field trip of my teaching career. It's my favorite, too. It's to a pioneer schoolhouse, straight out of the 1850's. The kids dress in pioneer clothes, bring a pioneer lunch and have an authentic pioneer school day straight out of 1849. Whether it is making one's manners, walking, on stilts, or even reciting from the McGuffey Reader- this trip is always a BIG hit. Can a Jacob's Ladder, or hoop rolling truly compete with Minecraft?
Yes! And it can trump it, too!
What a pleasure to read your blogs! I just discovered them (or maybe rediscovered them) and now I have the link to your blogspot writings on my desktop!
