Pioneers day 1


Today we have done all the regulars and then some. The regulars are math, language, science and so on...


For our Pioneer study we made a beanbag target game. They loved that and we took it outside to play in the driveway until started raining. They fussed because they didn't want to stop playing.


They copied their quote into their Pioneer journals, "I have never been lost but I will admit to being confused for several weeks." Daniel Boone


They did their words of wisdom. DS - homestead and challenge. DD - home and trail


DS wrote a short paragraph on Daniel Boone and what he did that was important to the Pioneers. (Finding the Cumberland Gap.)


They both read books about Daniel Boone and we read one yesterday that really chronicled his life quite well.


Tomorrow we will go on an Internet field trip along the Wilderness Trail.


Should be fun!
