Pioneers

We began our second semester by learning about how pioneers traveled west on the Oregon Trail. Students completed posters, research papers, and presented about their findings. Even though everyone presented on the Oregon Trail, the variety of facts was very interesting. 7th Grader Isaiah Bienemann explained how when the wagon trains would camp at night, they would circle their wagons, making it easier for the group to protect itself from animal or human enemies. Student Karen Lopez showed the differences in men’s and women’s tasks on the trail, and the intense difficulty of both.
