I have officially come full circle at the Stuhr Museum in Grand Island. I personally experienced the Nebraska history museum as an elementary student in the 90s and now I have attended as a parent sponsor on a field trip with each of my three kiddos. Nothing has grown boring. I still love every minute of it!
On a crisp November 5th morning, a guide met Tucker's 2nd class at a farmstead in the year 1895. The kids were immediately assigned chores to get ready for the Christmas holiday.
We got to gather wood for the stove, do the wash on the front porch, iron clothes, stir the popping corn, string popcorn and create paper chain garlands.
This 2nd Grade age is the best. The students were mature enough to follow instructions and listen respectfully while still maintaining their childish imagination and curiosity.
