Pioneer Day

The difference of living in CA and Utah is apparent in 4th grade. In CA the kids learned California history and made models of missions. In Utah they learn about pioneers. For the end of the unit, on January 19, 2011, they learned some dances and have a day where they dress up and invite the parents the last hour.
Caitlyn got to dance with her teacher in her group. She also danced with boys!

When we were finding her clothes to wear she saw my pioneer dress and asked me to wear it to school. Of course, I was the only parent dressed up. That's what you do to support your kids.

She was excited and it was fun to get to learn a dance with her.
