Today the entire Lower Intermediate (3rd & 4th graders) started their Western Movement unit. This will teach them about the journey that settlers took as they traveled from Missouri to Oregon. Each of them took on the role of a settler to experience the journey from their perspective - like writing journal entries about the trip from the point of view of their character.
Alex is a middle aged farmer with a wife and 2 kids. Today they were encouraged to dress the part and they had a big pancake breakfast in the gym as a sendoff for their "journey". The mayor of the town they started from (Lower School Head Mr. Baker) gave a speech to encourage them on their way. Several of the moms, including Becky, came in to help with the breakfast and to wish them well on their journey.
They took the opportunity to get a group photo while they were all in costume. Alex is front and center. Happy Trails!
