Fourth-graders in Beki Dingledein’s class at Warsaw Christian School are pictured during Pioneer Day. This day helped students imagine life as an American pioneer. Having just made several models of a pioneer village, students learned about pioneer log homes, covered bridges and Conestoga wagons from the early days of Indiana statehood. The life of Laura Ingalls Wilder was studied for information about the pioneer era, with a special presentation on the life of Wilder by Margaret Fritzel. The children wore pioneer costumes during the day, and enjoyed a variety of activities that included quilting a cloth patch, dipping a wick in wax to form a thin candle, shaking cream into butter and participating in a spelling bee. The students made the entire noon meal of cornbread, deviled eggs and stew. Students pictured (L to R) making cornbread are: Hope Rose, Finley Hobbs, Mya Wobrock, Maddie Silveus and Chloe Aites.
