1. My favorite part of the trip was when we got to go on the stilts cause I have never done that before.
2. The two most interesting this i learned where that the Browning´s were so good at making guns and that there were three types of bricks and how they have different uses. The salmon was to put in your house and paint over it. The clunker was used for fire places because no matter how hot the fire got the heat would not go through the brick, and brick was used on the out side of your house to make it look nice.
3. I was able to understand more about the West expansion because of how the wagons were built, and how the oxen pulled the wagon and all of its supplies. The people had to walk because there was not enough room in the wagon
4. In the picture I chose I was holding the rope that we made it was really cool how we made it, but anyways I was holding the rope while two other people were cutting it at the same time.

1. My favorite part of the trip was the Blacksmith shop. I found it interesting because in the first part of the tour it showed the wagon they rode West and how the wheels were made to hold up hundreds of pounds on each wheel. The second part of the tour was how they made the horseshoes, we even got a ring of the nails they put into the horses hoof, so that was cool.
2. Some the things that I didn't know, that I learned, was that they actually hammered the nail into the horses hoof to keep to horseshoe in place. Another thing was that the wagon was 3 feet deep and 10 feet wide, meaning the wagon was not big!
3. The oxen, horses, and other animals that the pioneers took, to pull their wagon needed "shoes" to protect their feet from getting hurt or damaged on the long Journey West. Knowing that the wagon was so small, its crazy to think that most of the pioneers, including children walked because most of the supplies took up most of the space in the wagon.
4. In the picture my group is taking a picture in front of the Blacksmith shop (our last stop). As you can tell the girls are more excited than the boys!

1. My favorite part of the field trip was the wagon ride. It was interesting because as we were riding in the wagon a lady was telling you facts about the places we passed. (Also getting off of the bridge was pretty nice)
2. I learned how the wheels to the wagons were made. I also learned how the women who were baking bread could tell when the oven was ready.
3. The wagons were incredibly small. You could only take the most important items. The size of the wagons showed how much had to be given up in order to make the journey.
4. As you can tell from this picture, I'm about to fall on my face, and some people are actually scary good at using the stilts. Even though I pretty much completely failed at using the stilts, they were still fun.

1. My favorite part of the day was walking on the stilts because it was hard at first but after a few minutes I got the hang of it.
2. I learned that it was hard to move from place to place and take things because the wagons were so small, you could only take things you needed you couldn't take things that you wanted to mess with on the way. I also learned that they would spell the words differently but pronounced them the same way we do today.
3. I was able to understand how difficult it was to move because the wagon's were so small and you could only take essentials.
4. In this picture we are learning how bricks were made.

1. My favorite part of the day was the wagon ride. It was awesome to see how they traveled back then. It was also cool to see how slow they went and why it took them so long to get there. Also the lady in the back showed us around and told us were we were and explained things. My most favorite part would have to be petting the horses and being able to stand next to them. Also this is were  learned most of my information.
2. One thing that I learned is that they made everything from scratch. They never wasted anything. I also learned that Navoo wasent originally called Navoo it had many names before it was called Navoo.
3. I learned more about the westward expansion by actually being able to see what was happening and what it actually looked like. Also how difficult it was for them to travel and make things. It was really cool to actually be able to see a visual.
4. In this picture my group is going on the wagon ride. We are getting ready to learn about Navoo.

1. My favorite part of the trip was the blacksmith and seeing how they made the horseshoes. Also seeing the tools they had to use then compared to the tools we now.
2.I learned how small the wagons that  they took really are. Also I learned that at the first way to make yarn and then the new faster way.
3. The size of the wagons shows just how little they could take with them, and the items they took mainly are only thing that they have to have.
4. In this picture I learned how you get the knots out of wool.

1. My favorite part of the day was going to the blacksmith and watching them handle the metal and make the horshoes and wagon wheels.
2. The two things i thought were most interesting that I learned were how they made bricks and how the school was back in the pioneer days
3. I learned how they were limited on how much they had to take and when they had to leave things behind.
4. In this picture we are making a real connection with the tree

1) My overall favorite part had to be participating in all the pioneer games. The stilts were the best part, and I really enjoyed attempting to stand on them with my friends. We even got a few steps in without falling off. The ring toss game was really fun, too, once we figured out how to do it!
2) I learned that Navoo wasn't always called that, and actually had plenty of other names as well. Before it changed to Navoo, it was called Commerce. The word Navoo is the Hebrew meaning for 'beautiful place'. Another thing I learned, was that pioneers make amazing bread! Their ovens are called beehive like the poof the ladies dress back in the day, because the oven sticks out the back of the building. Either way the bread was really tasty!
3) This trip really resembles what westward expansion would be like because it shows people being inventive and resourceful such as John Browning making the clip on the gun or the pioneer women toasting bread in a new oven. Even in the brick yard, they had to find a way to burn 40,000 bricks all in one small kiln. So yes, I would say that this trip really showed us how the pioneers had to make do with what they had on their journey west.
4) In this picture below, it's a picture of my friends Shelby and Jenna. This of course, is my favorite spot- where the games were played.

# data[].attributes.body
1) My favorite part of the day was the wagon ride and after lunch while trying to walk on the stilts.
2)Some things that I have learned about Navoo was that they have restored some of the homes.  Another thing is that how they made stuff like bricks and horseshoes.  When the women would cook, they either touched the bricks or put their hands in the fireplace.
3)That it was not easy to move because limited stuff was token. They would get sick and could die along the way.  They had to use oxen to move with.
4)In this picture I was trying to get up hoping that I wouldn't fall.  I don't know if Miaya was was smiling or not. Paige probably not knowing that she was in the picture.  Mercedes was half and half in the picture.

1. My favorite part of the field trip was meeting my fiance, Doc( he is a horse), at the wagon ride.
2. The two most interesting things I learned were how they spelled, and how small the school was and how little resources they had to learn.  and how they collected honey by catching bees in the bee box and following them to the hive.
3. I learned more about westward expansion when I seen the replica of the wagon and how small it actually was.I learned why they used oxen instead of horses. Also, I learned more about the wagon when I went to the blacksmith shop and learned about the wheels.
4. In this picture Macaela and I were kissing our fiances, Doc and Bill. They proposed to us and we both have rings :)

1. My favorite part of the trip to Nauvoo was the blacksmith. I thought it was cool how the blacksmith made the horseshoe right in front of us because I didn't even know what he was making until he was finished. I also thought he did a good job of explaining why the settlers left Nauvoo and how they left.
2. Two interesting things I learned were that the burnt colored bricks are actually burnt and are used for color contrast, and I learned that the Browning company comes from Johnathan Browning in Nauvoo.
3. It relates to what we learned about the Westward Expansion because it really showed us how small their carriages were and how little they could take, and that oxen were more reliable than horses because oxen could eat as they go, and horses could not.
4. In this picture I was learning about Nauvoo and the people who lived there, and Mrs. Cahill was taking a picture, so I had to make a very ugly face.

1. My favorite part of the trip was either the rope making or the activities such as stilts or ring tossing. I enjoyed attempting, though I wasn't good at it, to walk on the stilts.
2. Some things I learned on this trip was how they made ropes and how school was like back then I also learned that Nauvoo actually wasn't first called Nauvoo.
3. I was able to understand more about the westward expansion from seeing the size of wagons they used to travel on their journey and how little they actually carried with them.
4. In the picture below, you can see me blinking in a photo, I am not good with photos, and we were at the lunch spot where we played games after we ate. Ilianna, Jenna, and I were spinning dreidels before we went try to play the ring toss game.

1.  My favorite part of the day is when my group was the wagon ride.  It was very detailed and I think I learned more on the wagon ride than anywhere else, and I got to sit by my friends.
2.  I learned that they didn't make specific different bricks but cooked them differently so they looked different.  I also learned that they spelled a lot of things way different than we do today.
3. I learned about how little they could take with them on their long journeys, and it took a long time, and we got to see how small some of their living spaces were.
4. In the picture below we all took a group picture on the wagon ride,  sadly Kim's selfie stick was to short for this pic, so we had to have one of the guides take it for us.

1. My favorite part of our trip was when we went on the wagon ride. It was really interesting to see how different their transportation was back then and how little they could carry along.
2. I learned that most everyone only made about a dollar a day, some a dollar a week. I also learned that 2,500 homes were left behind when they were peacefully told to leave.
3. This trip really helps to understand better about the Westward Expansion. It showed me how rough and cold the conditions were for them. It also showed me how much they had to sacrifice. For example, they left many homes and belongings to move away. They also had to walk most of their journeys, and they didn't get much pay, only about one 1$ a day.
4. In this picture below I am riding on the wagon ride. This was one of my favorite parts of the trip. We rode all over the area and we had a narrator explain to us what it would be like if we were alive back then.

1. My favorite part was the Gunsmith, I enjoyed learning how they made their guns, and how they made other materials as well, having to be blacksmiths as well. It was interesting to see how they lived through it and quite intriguing to see how they had traveled around.
2. I did learn more about how they made their materials, and it was actually quite surprising to realize how poor the pioneers were back then, having to not let one thing go to waste. I also thought it was quite interesting to see the blacksmiths go to work and having to practically be deaf for that job.
3. This was actually quite the insider to see how pioneers had their new lives being there get set up to live with the conditions they were in. It really makes you realize how tough they had it then, and how easy and simple we have it now.
4. In this picture I'm in the background enjoying a show of stilts and people falling.

1. My favorite parts on the trip were the school house and the pioneer games. The school house made me realize how little the rooms were. Also how many books they had. Now days we have technology and books. On the shelf there were like 10 books at most It also made me think of how many people actually went to school on a regular basis.
2. The two things I learned is that people depended on other people. If they needed something from someone they would just trade with them for something they needed. I learned that it was hard to make clothing back in that time. It took a lot of work and preparation to do almost anything as well. Another thing I learned was that they made a dollar a day. That may have been a lot then but that is  nothing to us this day in age.
3. This is related to the westward expansion because of the wagon ride. Those horses are super strong, but they do not move very fast and they would also get tired really fast. I understand they are carrying a lot, but they are not very fast. It would take a long time to get from the east or south all the way to the southwest with a horse.
4. In this picture we dressed up and holding things they would've used back then.

1. My favorite part of the day would have to be the wagon ride. It was my favorite because we got to see the whole town and what it would have looked like back int he day. I also liked the horses, and how we were able to pet them.
2. Some of the interesting things that I learned about was when we went to the family living center. We learned how the people back then made rope, bread, pottery and yarn. I liked that it was hands-on and we could help do it. Another thing I learned was how the settlers made bricks and how it was a long process that was hard to do. I also liked trying to do the stilts at lunch even though I fell a lot and couldn't ever seem to get the hang of it. Another thing was when we saw the wagons that they had used to move westward and to see how little they could take along even though I had imagined the wagons being bigger.
3. It relates because we got to see what it was really like. In the blacksmiths shop there was a wagon about the size of what one would have been and you really couldn't fit much in it. Also we saw how they really adapted to moving around so much and how the settlers really had to work hard.
4. In this picture I am with Peyton and Celeste and we are sitting on a horse and a sheep when we were at Pioneer Pastimes, It was fun and Celeste was actually pretending to be riding the horse.

1. My favorite part of the day was when we were in the riding in the wagon. It was cool to see how different there means of transportation was compared to ours.
2. I learned that during that time teachers only made a dollar a week, I think that's crazy how someone could make a living off a dollar a day. I also learned that when they were building a brick house they would also make a log cabin to live in while they were building there other house.
3. I think that this related to what were learning because I had no idea how small there living spaces were. We also got to see there postage system which was really interesting. It was really cool that we got to see how they lived during the westward expansion and how there team work helped so greatly in the settling of Nauvoo and other places like it.
4. In this picture I'm petting one of the horses that was pulling our wagon.

# data[].attributes.body
1) My favorite part of the whole trip was getting to pet the horses. They were really soft and sweet. I really love horses so it was pretty cool that they let us pet them.
2) Two new things that I learned are how they made food and clothes, and the way they lived their everyday lives.
3) This trip is related to what we learned because it helped me get a better understanding of what the peoples lives were like. Before I knew the basics, but now I feel like I truly understand what they went through.
4) In this picture I am posing with Libby and Kaykay during lunch. We were pretending to be house wives.

1. My favorite part of the day was when I got to pet all the horses attached to their wagons. The ride itself was fun, but I was really cold. I didn't pay attention to the lady in the back talking because everything was so cool to look at.
2. I learned that the wagons settlers took along with them were around 3 feet wide and 11 feet long. I also learned that duplex buildings have been around for way longer than I originally thought. Both these things we're interesting to hear, which is why I remembered them.
3. This trip really made it easier to see what the life of people in Oregon was like. I learned all about the common jobs back then and saw homes, schools, and businesses that closely resembled the ones that stood a long time ago.
4. In the picture I chose I'm in the background of a selfie taken on the wagon ride. The expression on my face is questionable, because I really don't know what I thought I was doing. I probably wasn't thinking clear enough because Jada made it her mission to yell in my ear about trees.

1. My favorite part of the day was when we went the family living center because we got to learn about how they used to get all of their things they needed. Instead of being able to go to the store and buy whatever we want.
2. One thing that I learned was that the saying ¨sleep tight¨ came from the people having to tighten the ropes on their beds to make it sturdy. Another thing that I learned was that they had parties and put on plays, just like us, way back then.
3. Something that relates to what we have learned is how hard it was to travel in a little wagon, and seeing that wagon and making the image more real in my mind as to what it used to be like.
4. In this picture we were petting the horses while waiting on our wagon to arrive.

1. My favorite part was the wagon ride and the horses.
2.The two most interesting things I learned where that there are the 3 tipes of brick and that they had little cubicles for there mail.
3. it made me understand how hard life was back then and how the didn't have a lot of stuff back then.
4. in this picture I am spinning the wheel to make the rope.

1. My favorite part of the trip was how often I heard from all of the people of Nauvoo how nice, respectful, and responsible everyone was. That makes me feel SO PROUD of my wonderful group of 8th graders! :)
2. The two most interesting things I learned were how the pioneers had to put their candles in metal containers so rats wouldn't eat them at night because they were made of fat and how there were three types of bricks - salmon, klunker, and brick.
3. I was able to understand more about westward expansion, especially when I saw the wagon that was like settlers would have taken west with them. It really made me realize how little they could take with them when they made this life changing journey.
4. In the picture below, you can see me playing the game with the sticks and rings at Pioneer Pastimes. It was a lot of fun! (And I wasn't very good...)
