Even though it isnt pioneer day where I live, we can still remember and celebrate pioneers
What are pioneers?
A Pioneer is someone who goes somewhere or does something first and shows others the way to follow.
We can remember the pioneers from old days who settled areas first and bought our family to our country. We can remember the first person in our family who joined the church. We can remember how hard people worked in previous generations.
How can we be pioneers?
Activity
Pretend to be pioneers going on a trek.
Get children to carry or pull items they would want to take with them

Who are Pioneers? What did they do that was special? What can we learn from Pioneers?
"The air was charged with excitement as the families with their wagons, oxen, sheep, and other livestock gathered at the Missouri River to start the long trek westward early in the spring of 1852.
As twelve-year-old Albert Dickson wandered among the wagons, he saw many children. He even discovered several boys his own age. It was good to know that he would have friends on the long trip ahead.
Albert was just one of thousands of children pioneers who crossed the continent in the migration to the western states in the late 1840s and early 1850s
Pioneers are generally thought of as adults, but the majority of the western pioneers were actually children like young Albert Dickson, who trekked the westward trails and settled in the valleys of the mountain west. As they grew older, they became the leaders of many thriving communities that were literally carved out of a barren and hostile land."
