Let's be one with the prairie.

Yesterday, it was all about sod. Mr. Boyle brought in some for us to smell, allowing us to really experience what the first pioneers might have been living with twenty-four-seven. From there, we moved onto the station where we saw the actual amount of space they had living in a soddie, and later, what it was like to take an actual picture in the nineteenth century.

Today we moved on from soddie's to talk about - gasp! - faming tools. So fascinating. We were each assigned one, and were given the task of advertising it. Who doesn't love barbed wire? Guess we'll have to figure that out when we present tomorrow.
