Step Back to Colonial Times

On May 1st, the 5th Grade Teachers at our school, but on a full day activities for the 120 5th Graders at our school. Most of the students and all the teachers were dressed in Colonial garb and it was a chance for them to learn in a hands-on way about what it might have been like. There were 8 stations that the students rotated through during the day, including dancing with Ms. Alwell, a tavern hosted by parent volunteers, a classroom with subjects and games from Colonial times led by Mrs. Hastings, tinsmithing by yours truly, cross stitching by Miss Schwinge, quilling with Mrs. Lawson, candle making with our student teacher Ms. Linn and word turning with Mr. Wells. It was a great day for everyone. Below is a podcast I put together to show you a little bit and just because I love ANIMOTO videos, there is one below the podcast. Hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed the day.
