| photo by D. Needham This is our 4th and 5th grade Challenge class on May 19, 2010. Ms. Needham is our teacher and she's taking the pictures.

Because the sidewalks in parts of Seattle were raised in the late 19th Century,
pieces of Underground Seattle were preserved for over a hundred years. When
taking the Underground Seattle tour, one feels like they're traveling back in
time.

Our tour guide was fantastic! She told stories of how the city was built on tide
flats, how the city had terrible plumbing problems, and how corrupt the
founding fathers and city government were in Seattle's early days.

We had another great tour at the Klondike Gold Rush Museum! We watched a movie about the Gold Rush
which occurred from 1897-1898, and then our tour guide, a National Park Ranger, demonstrated how to pan
for gold.

Students had to really read the details of each exhibit well because they had to complete a
scavenger hunt while at the museum.

This is a Miner's Cradle. The miners made these to separate the gold from the dirt. They
rocked the smaller pieces and water out of shovels of dirt.

Seattle advertised itself as the Gateway to the Klondike!
Stores selling supplies sprung up all over Pioneer Square
trying to make money on the stampeders.
