Our Pioneer Families!!!
Last week we chose our pioneer names. Introduce yourself to the wagon train. Tell your name, age, gender and your role in the family. Tell us about your family. Use your knowledge from our research and Joshua's Journal to tell about your responsibilities on the trail. What are you looking forward to and what are you anxious about? Write four to five complete sentences using correct grammar and punctuation.

My name is Andrew Watson. I am a 10 year old boy. I am the oldest child and I do not have any other siblings. My responsibilities on the trail are hunting, putting all the things back in the wagon, taking care of the oxen and the cow and gathering water from the nearest stream. I am looking forward to getting to Oregon and having all that free land that we can get. I am anxious about my cousin Russell dying and my other cousin James because I do not want him to get sick on the trail because he has so many people in his family and he could risk getting all of them sick. I think it will be very fun on the trail but I am very sad that we had to leave my old home in Independence, Missouri. Bye!
