We read the book Turkey Red by Esther Loewen Vogt to learn how the Mennonites came to Kansas. We listen to tapes about Kansas immigrants and then visit the Kauffman Museum and Warkentin House to learn about how they came to Kansas and brought winter red wheat. The Learner Will learn how the immigrants came to Kansas from Russia and how they brought the winter red wheat.
Students write reports over their musuem visit and do worksheets on the immigrant tapes.
