SORRY!! (also, my 5th grade feild trip #2)

hey, I don't know if anybody still checks this out but I think I am going to start back up with this. Today, my class went on a field trip to the UCF student center in Sanford,FL. It was so cool!The ladies there took us to 3 exhibits. I saw the native American room, Grandma's attic, and the Schoolroom. First,my group traveled to Grandma's attic. In grandma's attic we learned that most kids in colonial times would be woken up around 3:00 in the morning to do their chores before school.the kid's chores involved making butter,grinding coffee beans,washing clothes,beating the rugs out,and making breakfast.The kids would also iron. I also learned what kind of toys the kids in colonial times would make. The kids had tops,ball in cups,Jacob's ladder, and a couple others I don't know the names to. Then, we went to the schoolroom. In the schoolroom we learned the rules the kids in colonial times had to follow while in school. Can you believe that the kids had to stand up every time they were allowed to talk? CRAZY! In the schoolroom we also saw the books and writing tools the kids in colonial times used. did you know that they would beat you if you wrote with your left hand? (oops!)Finally, we visited the Native American room. In the Native American room we learned about the plants and animals the natives used to survive. When we got to the room we were broken up into "tribes" and i was the chief.The lady there made the chiefs look for food,shelter, and clothing for their tribes. When we found everything, we talked about how the Natives lived and survived. What an exciting expirience for both me and my class! Hopefully I will blog soon! -Abby Berghane
