Today Logan's third grade class went on a field trip to an authentic log cabin from the year 1803. The children participated in all sorts of pioneer children's activities and chores. They learned how to knit (sort of), sew quilting squares, churn butter, hand-dip candles, wash clothes by hand, separate wool, craft rag dolls, grind corn, and harvest potatoes. The kids also played pioneer games for recess. It was a lot of fun, and educational. I definitely don't think I would have made it as a pioneer girl--no indoor plumbing, no online shopping--no thanks!
