Colonial project
By Holly

Clip to ScrapBook   
Each year during our unit on colonization, we have a colonial day. Each teacher on our team has a specific activity that they teach to the classes and the kids rotate every 40 minutes. Activities could be things like how
to make a horn book, calligraphy, cornhusk dolls, face silhouettes on black and then mount on white (these look great for open house) candle making, or pomanders out of oranges with whole cloves covering them. At break, the parents provide trays of cornbread and apple juice. You could also have them make butter for the cornbread our of heavy cream in baby food jars. During lunch they bring
their lunches that they have packed in a pail or basket and we have a picnic on the back field. You could make dress up part of the day, but don't have to. Good luck, hope it helps.
