Our fourth grade celebrates California history by spending an entire day learning about the Gold Rush. Students dress up as forty-niners, and visit three different centers. Two pioneers (reenactors) bring their wagon, and discuss with the students what it was like to travel to California as an "overlander". We also make a yarn craft toy. Then, the students learn the Virginia Reel, and play games that were popular in the mid-1800's. Finally, the students learn how to pan for gold, and drink root beer. After lunchtime, we put on a play entitled "Gold Dust or Bust". It's a pretty wonderful day. Thanks to my fourth grade team for organizing and arranging everything! Here's to an awesome day for 90 kids!
