Pioneer Day

Today Highland Elementary celebrated Pioneer Day. We rotated to several different stations to learn all about pioneer life in Kentucky. Or first station was the gym where we learned how to play pioneer games like duck duck goose and frog races. In the art room , we learned about quilts. Mrs. Bunch, our librarian, entertained us with a finger puppet play of 3 Billy Goats Gruff. We had a pioneer-like lunch in the cafeteria that included ham, pinto beans, and cornbread. We also made butter in our classroom during snack time and spread it on crackers. During music we learned about folk music and even how to make a banjo!
