Every year the 4th graders at the kids' school have a Gold Rush Day. It is a culmination of their unit of study on California history. I got to help out this year, working at the mini-stream where we taught the kids a bit about gold panning.
That Holly Hobby costume I made a couple years ago came in real handy for Natalee!
They made jam:
Sang at the miner's tent:
And, visited the saloon. How thrilled am I to look up and see my daughter being taught to drink and gamble? No, really, they were drinking rootbeer and playing 21 with 6th grade dealers!

Thats the very best part of being a room mom helper! Aren't you glad you get to experience all of that with your children? I miss them thar goood ol' days!
That is so funny that they were playing cards. I guess there could be worse things. What a fun day.
California history is so cool! I lived in Georgia and Indiana when we did our state history units. They didn't teach us how to drink and play poker. I love this state :)
I LOVE learning in fun ways! It sticks with the kids so much better.
