LIVING HISTORY DAY ~ Wed. May 19th

Hi Everyone!

I am settling back in after my trip to Washington D.C. It was a very exciting trip! It was almost as exciting as what is going on here at school this month! As a culminating event to our Oregon Trail Literature Study, we are celebrating with an 1850's living history day!

Living History Day, Wednesday, May 19th
We need volunteers to come and help us celebrate Oregon Heritage with a living history day! Students are encouraged to dress up, helping us recreate the 1850's in Oregon. Everyone is encouraged to come and participate. Our Day will consist of pioneer crafts, chores, food, and games. We will eat lunch together, and wrap up our day with a bartering/trading activity.

This is how you can get involved:

VOLUNTEER IN CLASS~
8:30 - 9:30 Corn Bread Making in Math Class
10:15-11:45 Crafts/Arts/Games Rotation

DONATIONS ~
Cornmeal (for corn bread)

BARTERING:
At the end of the day students will have the opportunity to trade unwanted items from home with other students. Please do not send anything for bartering you wish returned to your home. Things students use during bartering could be old books, used toys, posters, pencils, arts and crafts, or anything else a student would use to barter. Please also bring a blanket or beach towel to sit on during bartering, and a grocery bag to carry items home in.


Hope to see you there!
