Yesterday I took part in Kimberly's amazing field day. This husband and wife team go around to all the schools in the valley and teach "hands on" history to Fourth graders. Fourth Grade is the year kid's study Idaho History so this project makes their history lessons come alive. They bring an old wagon, and tons of authentic tools. The kids go around to twelve stations where they do everything from wash clothes with a wash board, to making butter, to roping a steer. They even worked with a bow saw. My favorite was the branding. Not to mention the dutch oven lunch (yum!). Kimberly and her friends had an amazing time. She and Emily looked so cute at the "dress up" station. It was COLD and windy but SO unforgettable!
