Pioneer Museum

Today Jacob's 3rd class went to the Pioneer Museum.  I was so excited because I work in the building right next to the museum.  For me to be able to just walk over there was a huge time saver.  This is especially neat because I love doing school stuff with the kids but rarely get the opportunity to do it.

Jacob and I had a really good time.  I think we learned a lot.  Well, least I did.  Jacob already seemed to know it all because they've been learning about it in his class.  Then again Jacob thinks he knows everything.  Turns out he does know a lot.  He remembers everything!  I think he could have given the tour.  In fact, our tour guide recommended he look into becoming a junior tour guide when he gets into middle school.  He said he definitely wants to sign up. I think he would be absolutely perfect for it.

We learned how the Pioneer Museum used to be the court house for Colorado Springs.  We learned about General Palmer and Helen Hunt Jackson.  Did you know, that part of her house is actually inside the museum?  I think that's so cool.  We also learned about the Ute Indians and Artus Van Briggle.

So...I THINK Jacob learned something but I KNOW he had a great time.  Afterwards, since it was nice, we ate lunch outside.  The kids got back on the bus and headed back to school.
