Kansas Day!  What a fun day we've had!  This morning we had three presenters share their knowledge.  Mrs. Judy Dunn shared her quilts and had the students in each class design a quilt.  She will quilt it, and then they'll donate them to a good cause.  Mrs. Vessie Gulick told students how to weave wheat and had beautiful examples.  She also shared many Kansas rock samples.  Mr. Travis "Grizzley" Tastove with Americorps from Cross Timbers presented about Lewis and Clark's expedition. He also shared artifacts, pelts, and skulls.

The annual Kansas Quiz Bowl was held in the afternoon.  Teams competed against each other.  Unfortunately,  I will have to update you tomorrow on which team won because we had buzzer problems and didn't have time to finish.  We ended the day with sunflower cakes and drinks.
