Friday, December 11th was Prairie Days - the culmination of so much learning for the 4th Grade. Mrs. Jorcke is famous for an amazing day called Prairie Days. Most parents participated in the day as well, and it was so rewarding for all of us. Rosie & Megan (& Carrie & I) made bread (with a breadmaker due to time constraints!) We were in the St. MM gym and the kids were divided by station for Activity One - Get the Food Going so we can eat at 2pm!
The kids dressed up as well (and some parents - I'm a dud as usual with no costume).
Measuring the ingredients for the bread!
Full length shot of Rosie & Megan - everyone looked so awesome - amazing outfits!
Activity Two - Tin Smithing - how the frontier folks decorated - pretty cool!
Activity Three - after lunch & Spanish class, the kids put on four plays & they were so cute. Rosie was Laura Ingalls in her play - she spoke very clearly & loudly for all to hear!
Activity Four - the feast which consisted of apple butter, regular butter, bread, gingerbread cake, ice cream & lemonade. All made by the 4th graders, and it was delicious! We even have the recipes to make them again. Amazing what few ingredients can make! That's Jo in her pajamas (PJ day at her school) eating away. I had to pick her up after bread making so she could watch Rosie in her play.
Jo & Anna both watched Rosie "perform." Everyone loves Jo Jo at her school - she always has a million kids around her. It is so darn cute.
