SF and I were both able to attend MR's LIVING MUSEUM Day at school yesterday. MR had worked hard on a report of Pocahontas. Each student did a short presentation of their project. We were very proud of the work MR had done.
It was interesting to watch her put the report together and study this time of history. My parents were able to bring the stones that she used in the presentation. The stones were used to grind grain and as tools and probably a hatchet. They had been found in the fields that my family lived on in Ohio. It was settled by my dad's family in 1832. Indians lived in the area and my dad's family found the "stones" when they were working the ground. I don't really think I thought that much about the fact that our land was settled on a "land grant". When MR was studying about the "northwest territories" that was the land that my dad's family got.
MR really got into learning about the people of that time and really did a good job. She is growing up so quickly.
Enjoy the photos
