Our Pioneer Families!!!

 


 Westward Ho!
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.

  2. My name is Clara McCormick. I am twelve years old and I am a girl. I have an older brother, younger brother, and younger sister. I also have a mom and dad. I am the oldest daughter in the family. My role in the family is to herd the cattle with my older brother. I am always joyful and happy when my younger sister makes me laugh. My favorite things are dogs. If ma and pa would let me have one I would play with it all day!! I take care of my little sister most of the time.

I also have a ma, pa, and a dog named Bubbles (Eloise named him). My chores are helping the triplets, helping ma with the meals, and occasionally milking the cows. Eloise always makes me smile and I do the same for her. I am very friendly. I have tons of friends in Missouri. My best friend is Virginia Dickerson. I have always dreamed of going to Oregon, but I have worried about the Indians. And that's a little bit about me!

  11. 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!
