~Prairie Primer ~ Prairie ~ Week 2/3~

We did not get together for week two because we were having sewer problems so we changed our plans a little for this week and tried to fit in a little of both.

Week two we learned about mules, malaria, wolves, mosquitoes and wells.

Week three we learned about three different kids of trees, trapping and we started on some Indian books.

The kids had fun making moccasins out of paper bags.  I misread the instructions though so most kids only got one moccasin instead of two (not enough bags).  They had fun running around in them anyway.


We taught the kids to play hopscotch.  Some of them are very uncoordinated! haha!  They caught on quickly though.  This simple activity reminded me of the importance of them learning all sorts of things.  Hopscotch in general won't make them an amazingly well rounded adult... but, there are things in this simple activity that that are good for them.  Coordination, following directions, waiting their turn... children's play is so important!

We also made little bow and arrows.


Next week we are not getting together but doing a bunch of Indian studies.
