My favorite place was the blacksmith. I like the blacksmith because you can see the iron when it is really hot and see the orange on the nail. Also I liked the wood cutters. I liked them because they it was really cool to watch because you could see them do the work. Now people work on the stuff we buy some where else.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the blacksmith too!! I liked watching them make a nail and the iron turned orange!
DeleteI liked the blacksmith too! liked watching him make the nails and I never knew they could makes a thousand nails in a day.
DeleteIt was cool how they did that soo fast
DeleteThat sounds really cool! You got to see him do it?
DeleteI enjoyed when we got to feel the warm nail
DeleteI also liked the blacksmiths and the wood cutters and I was amazed that they made that nail so fast.
DeleteI thought the blacksmith was awesome too.
DeleteThese are some things I liked...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part was when we went to the cottage. The cottage was so small! The parents got a bed and then the children got a bed that had a ladder to it but wasn't a bunk bed so when you walk in right above you is a little platform and to get to that platform there was this ladder. All the kids had to sleep up there and there are some parents have a lot of kids. All the kids are cramped up in there and sometimes they fall out but they get used to it. So all the younger kids and the older kids sleep up there but the baby has a cradle. The house that we went in had a stove! The place was really small. Did you know that even on a rainy day the bathroom was outside so it doesn't stink up the house?
And those are some stuff I liked and thought were interesting on the field trip!!

I liked the cottage too! It is hard to believe that all of the kids had to cram in one bed!
DeleteAwesome! The bathrooms are outside?! How many kids fit on one bed?
DeleteI would not want use the bathroom on a rainy day.
DeleteI thought that was really interesting too that all the kids could cram up there.
DeleteInteresting! I say uncomfortable. Mia P. I agree bathrooms outside horrible. but I bet 10-12 kids sense that is how many they had.
DeleteMy favorite part was the log cabin. I never knew that ten kids could sleep on the top wood bunk. They had to get their water out of the well and I liked pumping the well. They had to go to the bathroom out in the woods, I can't imagine not having a bathroom! I also liked the songs they played for us.
ReplyDeleteI liked all that stuff to!! But do you know that we kids had to go to the market once a month and got some stuff? It took one day to get there and one day to come back!
DeleteI would not like to not have a bathroom cause what if it was like snowing out side and you had to go to the bathroom really bad
DeleteThey had to go to the bathroom in the woods? Gross!
DeleteI would not want to go to the bathroom either!
DeleteWOW! I loved that field trip, it was a blast I would say my favorite thing was the cookies there cooked them so quick and I didn't now that they could make cookies thats very cool. Also I liked at the very end one of the older guys shot the gun it was cool and loud. Last but not least I licked how the guys made the fire I have never seen that. I am glad i did not live back then!!!
ReplyDeleteI also thought it was cool that they can make the cookies so fast. Did you know that the molasses was one of the pioneers cures for a cold?
DeleteI also thought that when he made that fire, that was really funny when he almost got on fire.
DeleteThe cookies did cook really fast!
DeleteThe gun was very loud!
You are right the cookies were fast. The gun was cool and loud (good thing there was not a bullet).

ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing was when the black smith made a nail. I can not believe it was made of an iron bar. I also enjoyed at the end when the man shot the rifle. That was really cool.
ReplyDeleteI though that the rifle was loud
DeleteI know! That was so cool!
DeleteI can't believe they shot it two times!
DeleteIt is amazing that you can make nails out of a bar!
DeleteMy favorite part about Jessie Jones Park was the blacksmiths did you know a good blacksmith can make one thousand nails in one day. I also was surprised that the houses were not that secure. #GARRETT

DeleteI'm not surprised because it was a long, long, long time ago.
DeleteMy favorite part at Jesse Jones Park was when they were baking the molasses cookies. It was cool that they were using the mud oven. I also thought the blacksmith shop was awesome. I think it is interesting that they can make nails so fast. The woodshop was cool too because they cut down real trees and made it into furniture and nice things. I can't believe they only had three pairs of clothes and I can't believe they had 10-11 brothers and sisters that all slept in one bunk! I think it might have been hard but fun to live back then. REECE OUT
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much molasses they could get in a day?
DeleteMy favorite part was the when we saw the skins and when they shot gun. I also thought the blacksmith was cool. Did you know they can make one thousand nails a day. I also learned they could make molasses cookies really quick.
ReplyDeleteI want to try one of those cookies but I don't know if they would taste good. It would take a long time to fire with that old-fashioned gun. bye Pete
DeleteMy favorite part was the Blacksmith. I wish I could be a Blacksmith. I learned that the Pioneers only went to town once. It took one day to get there and one to get back. They spent one day in town so it would be three days until they got back. I also learned that a good black smith could make 1,000 nails in one day. I am going to share a few more facts with you. 1.In the house there is one crib for the baby, one bed for the mom and dad and one bed for all the kids. 2.There are usually 12 kids per family. 3.the kids help with the chores. And 4.Men only kill the animals for two reasons. 1.there skin 2.to eat. I hope you have learned a lot today!

Kate why do you what to be a blacksmith? There is nothing wrong with being a blacksmith I just want to know.
DeleteMy favorite part was learning about the black smith and the screw they showed us dose not look like the screw like we have now. And the oven we saw there was very different than we have now.
ReplyDeleteI liked that to and I wonder how long would it take to make a nail?
DeleteMy favorite part was when we got to go too the blacksmith and when we pumped water. I didn't know that all the kids had to sleep on a little ledge thing and that there were a lest 10-12 kids up there. Also I learned that kids sleep in there clothes so they can get to work at 4:00 am. Did you know that a good blacksmith could make 1,000 nails a day. And if you hit steel and flint together they can make a spark. That's a little bit about what I learned. Bye!
ReplyDeleteIt would be cramped up there with all the other kids. It is so cool that a blacksmith could make that many nails in a day!
DeleteI wouldn't think it would be comfy up there!
DeleteMy bed is bigger than it and I'm one person!
My favorite part was when we got to go to the person who works with leather. He showed how to tan leather and braid it. I also liked the place where that person fired the gun. If I were a child on a homestead like that I would be really tired at the end of the day. Bye!
ReplyDeleteThe gun shot was really loud. It was also kind of scary because I was not ready for it.
DeleteMy favorite part was the blacksmith. I will tell you what my two favorite parts I liked. I liked it when he showed us the nail. I also liked it when he was hammering the nail to make it. Bye!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part was when we saw how to make a nail at blacksmith.I also liked the cabin.[My room is bigger than it]
ReplyDeleteThe wood shop thing was cool but also loud.I wonder if that guy who was shaving the wood off if it ever hit his tummy?
I wonder if the pioneers enjoyed there life?
They would probaly would after a few years like living there. I think they would get hit by a wood shaver.
DeleteI am going to tell you about my favorite facts and my favorite part of the field trip. My two favorite facts is that all of their kids have to sleep in the same bed. (Actually, more like on the ground) My other fact is that black smiths use only iron. My favorite part was when we learned how to make an arrow.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part was the black smith it was cool to see them make stuff. A good black smith can make 1000 nails in one day! They made cookies out of mollaes. Boys got up early to get water. And uasel 10 people sleep in one cabin.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part was the hunters, because they didn't kill the animals for the food but they killed them for their fur and to keep their chickens alive. I can not sleep in one bed with 10 other kids and not fall off. They cook everything in a oven that was made mud and dirt. The kids did most of farming. Could you have done all of that?
