The Santa Fe Trail



 At group lessons (homeschool co-op) I am teaching a Josefina American Girl class. Today, we learned about the Santa Fe trail. So I split the girls into "families", and put them through different scenarios. It was hysterical to see their faces when their food got stolen by a wild animal, or their "wagon" broke down, or their child was lost. But they all did a good job helping each other out to complete the nessecary tasks, and they all learned an important lesson of just how hard it was to go on the Santa Fe Trail.
