The field trip was to the Green River Valley museum in Big Piney. It was a very informative trip for the kids and the parents too. I learned alot about the county we live in. The museum has some really awesome artifacts.
Mrs. Walker and the 4th Graders in front of a really old truck.
Me helping the kids get to the right page in their notebooks for some note taking.
Learning about the Wardell Buffalo Trap, very interesting even for me.
Inside the one room school house, just like on Little House on the Prairie. The kids had some really great questions, but their main concern for the children in this era, was if they had RECESS.... the most important subject of school. Right???
Here they are in "JAIL" Not really, just visiting....this was the only part that made it through a fire that destroyed the town hall. They kept the prisoners in the jail while they moved it out to a different location while they rebuilt town hall, and then moved it back inside of the new building.
A fabulous old organ
Checking out the Old truck, very interesting
The kids were amazed at the prices of different items back in those days, but we had to remind them that was a lot of money then. The little one room cabin had its walls decorated in old Sears catalog pages. This was how the women spruced up the walls and kept the drafty holes covered.
