Oh what fun!!
Fry bread, berries, jerky, beans, corn, squash AND they get to dress up. What a fun way to learn about the Anasazi & Inuit tribes.
One of my favorite activities other than the yummy food was the “story book skin” they were able to make. What a creative way to show how they were able to communicate with each oth [...]

Pioneer Day 2011
Sadly this was my last 2nd grade Pioneer Day. It is one of my favorite curriculum days, I think both of the kids agree. It is hard to believe it has been two years since Hayden’s Pioneer day! I must say it is a completely different experience with a daughter. A

Gillian shares the love of horses with her Nana Orton and seeing her dressed like this just mel [...]

Our Lil School Girl
Has anyone found a the secret potion to keep our children from growing up so fast? I am running out of time!! They are shooting up like little weeds!
