The fourth grade students and teachers headed to Havensville for the 40th and final Living History Day on Friday, September 13, 2024. The fourth graders were thrilled to learn about the many different things that people did in everyday life in the past.
There were many activities that the students could participate in. Some of these included weaving, making tortillas, churning butter, candle dipping, learning about native Kansas animals, and grinding coffee beans. The classes split into groups of four or five in order to do more activities.
Fourth grader, Colt McKee stated, “My favorite part was either the candle making or the animals. I also liked playing at the park.”
“Petting the bunnies was fun,” Ainsley Dalinghaus commented. “We fed them but we couldn’t give them cucumbers, because they have too much water, so we gave them carrots, broccoli, and lettuce instead.”
Overall, the fourth graders enjoyed the trip and “Living History.” Their favorite activities were candle dipping and petting the animals. It was a fun experience and the fourth graders learned a lot about history.
