Kelsie got to participate in a Mountain Man Rendezvous with all the 4th graders. It was really a neat event and I'd never seen anything like this done before. The kids dressed up in "Mountain Man" era clothing and participated in 10 rotations to learn about life in that period. They panned for gold, listened to tall tales, shot Atlatls, sawed logs, and more! Kelsie and her friend (Bri) from her class won the saw logging contest! I know she didn't get that from me!
This picture is of her teacher teaching them how to shoot the atlatls. After the rotations there was a trading blanket where they got the use the beaver pelts they'd been earning to buy and trade items. Kelsie made washer necklaces to sell and loved selling them. Then they went to an assembly with a real Mountain Man. It was really cool. I'm so glad we had this neat even at our school. So fun!!!
