History Park San Jose

Today, three of the second grade classes visited the History San Jose Park.  Leo has been there twice before but I only went once last year.  

Here's my group - Serafina, Raz (pronounced Roz), Kevin and Brian.  Raz is an epic drama queen who hurts poor sensitive Serafina's feeling multiple times a day.  I've had Kevin and Brian in my field trip group before.  They are pretty easy.  

 We started out with time to explore, so we went to check out the covered wagon.

And the train.

 The whole class visited a nearby "friendship garden".

 Then it was time to meet the docent for a tour.

 They got to experience life in the 1890s, including sewing with a foot pedal machine.

 And ironing.

 Outside they had to carry heavy buckets of water.

 And pump the well.

 She never looks this happy helping with laundry at home.

 She really liked milking the pretend cow too.
