Pioneer Party

We're wrapping up our western unit in Social Studies. As a culminating activity, we had a Pioneer Party. The students traveled to different stations. At each station, they collected a gold coin "sticker" for their Pioneer Passes.

Now it's time to shop for some "penny candy"

a western party wouldn't be complete without a Wanted sign
