The big project of 3rd grade was to learn all about pioneers. The kids got to choose a topic from a list. Caleb chose "gold rush". It was interesting to learn about how the gold rush came about! He had to research, create a poster, then present it to families/friends at an evening pioneer days event. He did a great job!! Proud momma!

| Posing by his poster. This was the outfit he chose...not super pioneery but that's what he wanted to wear. |

| Giving the speech to his principal! And he didn't even freak out! |

| I love the serious one! |
 |
| As part of them learning about pioneers, they went on a field trip to the Pioneer Village in Ft. Worth. I didn't even know it existed! |
 |
| They learned how to dip ropes in wax to make candles. |
 |
| Ringing the dinner bell. |
 |
| Learning how to make covered wagons and various tools. Really interesting!! |
