After earning a degree in theater and dance, I fell in love with nineteenth and early twentieth century social dances. I traveled the country going to dances in vintage costumes. When I landed in the Pacific Northwest, I added flamenco, swing dance, Argentine tango and living history reenactments to my life. Throughout all of those years I was teaching and writing. https://www.christinepintowrites.com/oregon-trail-classes daily 0.75 2025-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528690073542-4UUF258T97MK7SVDQG7Q/girls_with_wagon.jpg History for kids - Miniature wagon shows what settlers packed for the trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528690890260-ZC6AS3WIZDK3XZMM0VDL/boy_red_bandana.jpg History for kids - Bandanas keep the dust out of your face. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528691726771-9SGNCTUQO02OP2E5S5J3/boy_writing.jpg History for kids - Writing about the experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528690893128-2TZ42KM215LPH8V54AUH/girl_pioneer_clothes.jpg History for kids - Getting help from friends to try on clothes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528691738381-WAPVC4LYOGPG5NJ6FEIF/student-letter.jpg History for kids - Handwritten letter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528690893346-QRHGACNGONWMM4SSU1MA/boys_in_pioneer_clothes.jpg History for kids - Trying on Oregon Trail clothes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528690891136-DWIBADZ1L61BBG2E0T99/boy_sewing.jpg History for kids - Right sides together! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528690898358-FQ4JHLQSACSONYD8JWMZ/girls_in_pioneer_clothes.jpg History for kids - Trying on Oregon Trail dresses with friends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528690896095-SWJ7NT8ETIBLBWC6MIG1/girl_sewing.jpg History for kids - Sewing a four patch quilt block. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528691728886-HGSE5CWQJRFIJE0LUOL5/girl_with_slate.jpg History for kids - Writing on a slate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528923063751-JL4OP682G7T38K5TT9I3/oregon_trail_script.jpg History for kids - Practicing cursive handwriting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528691730851-VPZMEBIBXCHO9H43ZYJM/girl_with_sunbonnet.jpg History for kids - Bonnets keep out the sun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528691734233-TP1X1PDO5P6C12RSJBET/girls_sewing.jpg History for kids - Sewing by hand is a new experience for most kids. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528690895576-4MZXU0ZR88R1QWWSSYVF/girl_showing_her_writing.jpg History for kids - Students share their writing with parents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528691738906-L78EN83F3CL8CAMDU03R/marbles.jpg History for kids - Playing marbles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528691736245-Q0RGZ4PYN7Y7QM1UGGK1/making_butter.jpg History for kids - Pouring off the excess when making butter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528691736509-V5WZD08P7NFRJ1MDBM66/hey_jack.jpg History for kids - “Just a blur of sweat and suffering” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528691731913-TA5H5Y21163J5HJL49FK/girl_writing.jpg History for kids - Writing a letter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528690899382-NQ14HBNM400FAY021V3Q/graces_ltr_to_catherine.jpg History for kids - Telling a great story through a letter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528691729085-IQZFGUQB6FMASRZ8XR52/girl_reading.jpg History for kids - Students share their writing for classmates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528691733932-ZPK34VT5DF8081M6FBTL/hallway.jpg History for kids - Hallway display of letters written by students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/1528758249255-ALUUAZO3NCZ10D5CMHO5/girl_with_finished_butter.jpg History for kids - Butter at last! https://www.christinepintowrites.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-05-22 https://www.christinepintowrites.com/editing-services daily 0.75 2025-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/ecb165e4-d520-4240-8b26-18f41b6833fb/Allegory+web+banner.png Editing Services - Contact me to talk about your project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/46ccfd8e-800b-45be-a8f1-ad6e32995026/Pinocchio_lores.jpg Editing Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.christinepintowrites.com/author daily 0.75 2025-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5417407ae4b00d3bfe259624/e94de9eb-5d11-421c-89ee-3e835af41024/cover+image.jpg Author - Learn Chinook Wawa words as you follow the fort cats, Mahsie and Eena around the fort.
