We will be taking a two week break from our study of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World to prepare for Early Childhood Pioneer Day, which will we held on Friday morning, January 27, from 8:30 - 10:45. This is a great morning that celebrates Kansas' birthday on January 29. It is held in the south gym with stations like roping cows, washing clothes on a washboard, peeling apples, singing songs, and many more. I will be teaching the children a few pioneer games and activities, as well as scatter square dancing. At the end of the event, all students will dance and parents and guests are invited to join in the fun. To add to the atmosphere of the day, everyone is invited to dress up in clothing that reminds us of the pioneer days. In the past we've had cowboy shirts, jeans, chaps, denim jackets, jean skirts, cowboy boots, cowboy hats, pioneer dresses, bonnets, overalls, Native American Indian costumes, coonskin caps, bandannas, and sheriff badges. Please note that any kind of play gun or weapon is not allowed. It's going to be an exciting morning!
