3rd Grade Field Trip
We went on our field to trip DeSmet to visit the Laura Ingalls Wilder sites. We didn’t let the wet weather dampen our spirits. At the LIW Society, we toured the Surveyor’s Shanty, Brewster’s School, and the house that Pa built. We ate our sack lunches at the homestead site before continuing our tour. We got to make butter, grind wheat into flour, shell corn off the cob, make rope and corncob dolls, and twist hay. But…the most fun of all was riding in a covered wagon to the country school. Each one of us had a turn to drive the team, even Mrs. Wienbar! The horses’ names were Skip and Barnum, just like Almanzo’s. We’ll remember this day for a long time to come!
We posed for this picture without smiling, just like pioneers!
