Oregon Trail families met this morning to discuss their future out West. They had to make decisions about where to settle down and build their lives. Many families contemplated going back home. Some had to come to a compromise of what to do for a living, and many had to think about how to be successful with all this new open land! Families will share their decisions and fates with one another during our scheduled "Summer Reunion of 1946" later this week.
This afternoon we continued our carpentry work and knitting. Students also made "hard tack", a cracker like snack that pioneers took with them on their journey to satisfy hunger cravings during times of scarce food. They may have looked like pita chips, but they sure didn't taste as good!
