We find Mrs. Dobbs, and a group of kindergarteners, learning about jobs during colonial times. Today, the students learned about blacksmiths. They were able to watch a short video about how a blacksmith makes nails, horse shoes, and other items out of iron. At the end of the lesson, students were able to design their own blacksmith shop sign!
