Social Studies Term 3

After reading a good portion of "Gold Rush Fever" by Barbara Greenwood, we decided to see what it would have been like to climb the 'Golden Stairs' to the Chilkoot Pass.   I packed their bags with 10 lbs, 1/5 of the weight that would have been carried up over and over again.  Our 225 cement steps paled in comparison to the 1500 ice carved stairs that 'Stampeders' climbed in winter conditions.  I think they got the idea though :)

Art term 3


Trinity and Mom made some veggie bags together from netted curtain fabric.  She did the serging and I did the top stitching.  I showed her how to pin the casing and she sewed it with the regular machine. 

This project stemmed from the "Bag It" project.
