Avery: Blog Of The Day

Today in the movie we learned about a guy named John Muir. He wanted to learn about nature and what it feels like, so that he could teach people about all the things he learned. After the movie today we learned about the Harvey Girls. They were the only women that could go out into the "wild west" to work at a hotel and restaurant. Women back then were not aloud to leave home. They were supposed to take care of the house and cook and take care of the children. But the Harvey girls got to work for  a guy named Fred Harvey. Fred Harvey was a nice man. But he made very, very  strict rules for the girls. Like no make up or accessories. No stains on the clothes, they couldn't talk or flirt with the customers. Also they had to keep the silverware polished and the tables set, and the napkins folded. The girls thought it was worth it and their parents said that if they had those rules they could go. A few days ago we made Split Tree Park. We used paper, string, legos and Heroscape pieces. I had the idea of the zip line and the panda, bamboo forest.
