The talent show was terrific! My husband and I really enjoyed it. A lot of wonderful work and effort, on the part of adults and all the students involved, really showed. Thanks for a great performance.
Our class has started a simulation of “The Oregon Trail”. Each class member has an 1850 name and identity, and we have divided the class into five wagon trains that are headed out West. We started, of course, at Independence, Missouri, by purchasing our wagon, carefully selecting and buying the supplies we hope will keep us alive for our many months on the trail, and packing them in as tightly as possible. We had a happy send-off, but it was very difficult leaving family members behind, along with many precious family heirlooms that we could not take on our wagons. The guides, who have been to Oregon before, say we have to think “Survival First!”
