Our first unit of study was Early Americans. We learned of the Challenges, Changes, and Conflicts faced by the pioneers and the Native Americans. Our first field trip was to "The Pioneer Farms" just outside of Eatonville. The tour includes a one room school house, an authentic Pioneer home, a barn, blacksmiths shop and an exhilarating buggy ride. The students had a great time with some of the hands on activities such as: grinding coffee, kneading bread dough, shaving with a blade less straight edge, milking a cow, jumping in the hay, and weighting a chicken egg.
