Colonial Day

The 5th graders at our school have been studying colonial America & working on a big project.  They were divided into groups, given a specific topic to research, & had to write a report, script, paint a backdrop, & put together a costume.  On Thursday, they presented Colonial Day.  Students, teachers, & parents got to tour & hear a little blurb from each group.  They did a fantastic job!

Later, they feasted in classrooms, paying close attention to the etiquette of that time period, like males standing up anytime a female was standing.  The boys didn't enjoy this one quite so much & the girls took full advantage!!

They also took part in a colonial dance.  They actually had to dance with girls!! Ewww!!
