Wonderful Wednesday

Thank you all for your quick responses on the permission slips to the log cabin. It was awesome! The students learned about life long ago in a one room school house. We would like to extend a big thank you to Concordia Seminary and Noah's mom (in Mrs. Chamberlin's room) for welcoming us on their grounds.

Inside the log cabin at Concordia Seminary. The students learned about a structure built and used over a hundred years ago. Using this primary source to gain information about life long ago was powerful!

Ha! This is the best picture I have from the group. They're hilarious.
