What a great learning experience for our students today. We had to think about how the life of a Pioneer was the same, and different, than our lives. We found out that pioneer kids had a lot more chores to do then the kids of today! Did you know that in 1901 the population of Surrey was about 300! Can you guess what the metal tool in the photo on the far right is for? See if your child remembers! We got to go inside a real pioneer cabin that was built by a man for his family in Surrey. They kids were surprised to see what a washing machine looked like back then....metal tub, scrub board and ringer! We had a chance to play with toys that pioneer children would have played with. No flashing electronics here, but all the kids had so much fun! In the craft room, we made a Christmas cracker, a paper stocking, and a simple picture spinning toy.

Today we did a directed drawing of Rudolph. The most famous of all of Santa's reindeer! I love kid art; aren't they great! Each one has such a different expression on it's face. What are they thinking about?
