Riley's Farm with Fossas
I just wanted to share some of the pics from Riley's Farm today. Last week when James went, it was wet, cold and rainy. Not so for my class today! It could not have been a more gorgeous day. We had a great day learning about Civil War history.
We learned to drill, about blacksmithing, amputations, politics, etiquette and other Civil War era subjects. You have to love the grin on the "helper's" face.
Of course, my favorite part was when the kids fought the Battle of Fredricksburg and had to drop in this recently fertilized field. :) They were covered with cow-poop-scented dirt. Such a joy to ride home on a bus with these guys!
Of course, life in middle school is never dull, and there is always someone willing to share a smile!
I love the pride on this boy's face at being able to carry the colors! Fun aside, this is what it's really all about.Labels: adventures, teaching

LOL, i miss Riley's Farm. it seems like just yesterday that our 8th grade class was there. Whoa, with my new drill knowledge i could actually drill right and hold the guns right and stuff. I can still smell the wonderful apple pie and cider from that place. so, only 8th grade went? that's really small. did u even have to split into groups? I still have all the pictures. we all need to get together over winter break and have a CRAMLAKAS and teacher christmas party reunion thing. If u have any ideas can u email me so i can talk with everyone else about it.
