In 4th grade the kids have been studying Idaho History. I have loved watching Ella get excited about it. It is what motivated us to take a trip to Craters of the Moon, Custer County and recently Franklin.
Her class did a couple of rendezvous' and I got to help with the one at the school. The kids had face paintings done and learned what some of the symbols and colors mean.
I was in charge of mining for chocolate chips. They used tooth picks to dig the chocolate chips out of cookies as miners would dig gold out of land. They had to do their best to leave the "landscape" in as good of condition as possible.
Here is a picture of our little trip through Franklin, We stopped to see the monument but didn't have time to see the museum this go round.
Sure is fun having the kids learn new things and being able to supplement where we can. Love my family!
