To celebrate Treasure Mountain Festival, last week each grade at FES participated in different activities to learn about the heritage of West Virginia and Pendleton County. Thursday 1st grade went to Fort Seybert. They learned about life during the time of the Civil War, toured a log cabin and got to try their hand at ax throwing. On Friday the Dulcimer Dames came to play music using traditional instruments. Kindergarten got to learn how to use some of those instruments, use Limber Jacks and dance to traditional folk music. 1st grade learned about WV Fauna and made paper coon skin hats. 2nd grade went on a Scavenger hunt to find items from the past that were hidden on the playground. 3rd grade listened to the story of Treasure Mountain and then built log cabins out of pretzels. 4th grade walked to the Community Building where Holly Hubbs demonstrated spinning wool, and Vickie Skavenski demonstrated weaving the bottom of a chair. They also walked around to view the quilts and voted for their favorite one. Mrs. Lambert and her daughter Ms. Keely came to teach the 5th graders how to play marbles. 6th grade took a fieldtrip to the Bogg's House Museum. After touring the museum, they walked to see the three houses of the ladies they learned about at the museum. What a fun way to learn about our local history. We appreciate all the work that was done by members of the community and FES staff to make this such a great experience for them.
Students in 3A enjoyed TMF traditions by listening to the legend of the treasure, creative writing, exploring historical items, and making log cabins.
