I LOVED the American Girls class. Was it because the class was full of girls? I think that had a lot to do with it! It was such great fun to hear them talking and giggling over all the girly things we got to do.
<br>
<br>Our last class was spent talking about all the wonderful traditions brought to America from the huge influx of immigrants during the 1850's through the early 1900's. I hope they incorporate some of the fun traditions we learned about during your next Christmas party. One requires all the single ladies to throw their shoes.
<br>
<br>We then had a short quiz about our lovely field-trip to the Midway School House. They have such good memories!
<br>
<br>Lastly, for all their hard work in class over the semester, they were rewarded with a Smencil (a pencil that smells delicious) and a small journal to start writing their own American Girl story!
<br>
<br>I wish you all a happy summer!!
<br>Thanks for all the wonderful memories and experiences this semester!

She is a young girl from Sweden that comes to America with her family. After a rough journey they settle on a farm in Minnesota. Kirsten lived during the pioneer times (hence our upcoming field trip.)
<br>We talked about what life was probably like for Kirsten. And we agreed it was not EASY!
<br>We then worked on individual lap quilts. We learned that quilts have 3 layers and that the quilting stitches keep the layers bound together.
<br>We learned a simple tie stitch with yarn. The girls worked terribly hard to complete their quilts enough for me to sew the edges (with a modern day sewing machine.)
<br>I only finished three, but hope to finish the remainder this week and deliver them on Thursday.
<br>
<br>
<br>Don't forget our field-trip this upcoming Thursday!!!
<br>
<br>1). We need to leave by 9:30!! Set those alarms early!
<br>2) Dress in pioneer garb if you've got it!
<br>3) Pack a lunch (pioneer lunch is preferred. ). - We talked about this in class
<br>4) If you haven't turned in your permission slip, BRING IT ON THURSDAY!
<br>5) Don't forget to pay $8.25.
<br>6) We will be back by the end of FILA.
<br>
<br>7) GET EXCITED!! This is going to be so FUN and educational.

I think we need a tea party class next semester! Who is on board?!
<br>>
<br>> Today it was great fun to learn tea time etiquette while quietly sipping our peppermint tea and delicately eating delicious finger sandwiches, scones and desserts. Teacher Mary even spoiled us with chocolate covered strawberries!!
<br>> Hopefully, the manners we learned today will extend to our everyday eating. Remember, please, thank you and you're welcome! And don't forget our rhyme that reminds us not to put our elbows on the table. So many great hints today. Remind your family about them as you sit down for a meal.

<br>> First, we visited Tim Donahue. He told us about boats, took us aboard one of his land-docked boats, and answered all our tough questions.
<br>> We then headed to the dock in Gig Harbor. Before settling dockside for our picnic, we took a walk to see the Gig Harbor Lighthouse.
<br>> After working up an appetite we settled down for our picnic and ended our adventure with a photo at the end of the pier.
<br>> This week we will learn all about Caroline and her love of ships.
<br>>
<br>> Also, the horse field trip has been rescheduled for April 14. But I also am scheduled for jury duty that week. Let's hope they don't need me!

You also received a paper bag full of supplies. Just as the Nez Perce used every inch of the buffalo they killed, you are tasked with using everything INSIDE of the bag and the bag itself! If you do, you will be rewarded. I can't wait to see your creativity. Please bring your dioramas back next Thursday. And be ready to explain what you made. You are free to use any additional supplies you find as well! Take a walk outside and use the resources around you, just like Kaya!</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1454642632160_3518" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1454642632160_3518" dir="ltr">You also received your first memorization assignment.

Then that someone can sign the back of your paper to prove your assignment is complete!
