Happy Kansas Day!! Our 4th graders got to serve as “reporters” and record interviews with Famous Kansans at Mahaffie Farmstead! It was an amazing day spent learning from a historical reenactment! Would definitely recommend!

Stumbled on a gold mine, or rather a coal mine, of high quality instruction in Mrs. Steger’s class @OlatheWestOwls
SS using historical thinking skills & primary sources in class some of which were located in a “coal mine.”
💯 awesome
