The first grade classes took a field trip to Conner Prairie. We participated in a Prairie Pioneer program designed especially for first grade. While there we went into a real log cabin and learned about how people lived a long time ago. We learned about wool and how it is cleaned and dyed. We also played several games pioneer children would have played. Afterwards we went on a tour of Conner Prairie. We were able to pet real animals, sit in a dug out canoe, and experience many things that would have happened in pioneer days. We will reinforce our experiences with several activities in November. What a wonderful place to learn about history!
