We kicked off our Wild West theme at Jackson Heights with an elementary school visit to the Red Rock Ranch in Soldier. It was a rainy day, but our enthusiasm was not dampened. Fun was had by all, as we sang campfire songs, learned about horses, and ate home-cooked rolls!
Theme activities will continue all year school-wide and in individual classrooms. In our second grade we have just started to read the novel "Little House on the Prairie" together. We will read and discuss many things about the Old West with the help of this novel. Students are encouraged to have their own copy of the novel to add to their enjoyment!
