Gold Fever

What a great adventure we had today.  The first group heading away on the wagon pulled by Max.


Thank you to the parents who came and enjoyed this wonderful learning experience with us. 
At the river we learned the techniques of gold panning with Terry. Some great excitement as some of us thought we had found nuggets.  There were some tiny specks that we could see glinting in our pans, that didn't move when the water was swished over them. The sign that it really was gold.

Thank you Aurelia for bringing us a wonderful book for shared story that tells of the adventures of those gold miners who came to our area. We'll start reading this on Monday.
