For our next field trip, our class traveled to the Bartow History Center for a lesson on Farm Life! Here are some cute pictures of the kids on the bus with their friends ...
Once we arrived, it was time for a little lesson on a child's life on a farm in the museum.
Then, we got an opportunity to practice some of the common chores for children on the farm. First, all the students got a chance to milk the "cow"...
After our milking experience, we got to spend time doing other traditional children's chores. These included gathering eggs...
and washing clothes.
We also got a chance to experience some of the free time activities children enjoyed over 100 years ago, including playing with traditional wooden toys...
competing in a game of bean bag toss...
and even playing "Drop the Clothespin".
Guess which two "farm kids" were the ultimate "Drop the Clothespin" champions?
Mrs. Jones and Jose!
What a fun trip!
