This past Tuesday (26) all the 4th graders in Leah's school went on a field trip to Fillmore. It was the site of our first state capital. The kids loaded on the school busses and parents drove their own cars.
There were tonz of activites for the kids to do that tought them all about the time period of the settlers of Fillmore.
Leah learns how to chisel rocks to make blocks for buildings....she said it was the hardest activity she did.
Leah and her friend Ashley dipping candles....this was a fun activity!
She learned how to plane wood getting it ready for erecting buildings.....she couldn't get the hang of this and got board fast.
The children in her group learned how important it was to work together as a group to get the work done....they built a log cabin with no instructions....all they were told was that all had to help, there had to be one door and at least one window....go!!!This was a fun activity and the kids did an amazing job. I sure had fun spending the day with Leah and getting to know her friends and seeing her interacting with them.
