  12. Review and Discussion • What kind of chores do you have at home today? • Do you enjoy them or are they no fun at all? • Is it your job or do you get allowance for completing your chores? Pioneer children were in charge of candlemaking, soap making and they very much disliked doing it. They had to play in nature and they also had to eat what was available and in season. They had games to play that were considered “past times” not toys… • In your journal, write an entry based on the prompt: “Would you be able to live in the life of Pioneer time? Why or why not?” Give good examples!

  13. Math Activity: Supply List Food and Supplies • When families traveled on the pioneer trail, they had to take all the items that they would need in order to live while they were on the trail. They could only take what they could fit in their wagons on this journey. Below is a list of various items they might need in order to survive. • To do this activity, pretend that you are beginning a journey on the pioneer trail. Your wagon is only able to carry 1,000 pounds of supplies. What items would you take on your journey and how much of each item? Make sure you don't go over the 1,000 limit. Talk about why you decided to take the items you took. • http://library.thinkquest.org/J001587/
