Life Long Ago

We learned a lot on our field trip to the Historic Arkansas Museum about how people lived long ago.  It was fun to try out churning butter, making wagon wheels, panning for gold, and much more.

Red Ribbon Day

CLS celebrated Red Ribbon Day on October 30.  We learned about the importance of saying "NO" to drugs.

Welcome to Cross Cove

In social studies, we have finally begun to build our town.  We explored the landforms and natural resources and chose the best place to build our homes.  We have named our town Cross Cove.  We have planted crops and our cows and sheep are grazing in the pasture.  A few of the settlers decided to build their homes outside of the town.  I wonder how Jack, Will, Hamilton, and Stephen will get across the river when they need to come into town to buy supplies?
