As part of our Social Studies unit on life long ago, Mrs. Wunschel's and Mrs. Bisenius's classes had the opportunity to experience first hand what our ancestors may have enjoyed in the past.

     Rene Stroud came to visit the 2nd grade on Friday, November 18.  She demonstrated how to use the Navajo loom as well as a spinning wheel and drop spindle to make yarn from wool.  Rene also showed us how our ancestors shelled and ground corn to make food and wash clothes on an old washboard.  The students loved looking at the different animals hides and elk antlers, too.  They also enjoyed playing games from the past and making music from spoons and an old washboard.  It was a wonderful hands-on experience to enrich our students' learning.
