On Thursday, we entrenched ourselves into understanding the colonial period. We learned about the houses they lived in, the food they ate, how they prepared their food, their jobs, light sources, clothes, the way they decorated their homes, and lack of sanitation-- to name just a few.
We compared our lives today to their lives. We are so spoiled!!
We also practiced filling water buckets and carrying them long distances because kids did this multiple times a day to provide their families with water. This was quite the challenge. It was easy to follow our path because there were lots of puddles of spilled water. Oops!
We also received our next challenges. The first requires us to memorize the original 13 colonies. We can do this!!!
And the second challenge is to complete a stitch art wall hanging for decoration. These will be started on Thursday.
Also, don't forget our horse field trip has been rescheduled for March 3, 2016. Make sure to turn in a permission slip if you haven't already and pay the $1.25 fee - for the bridge fee.
Thank YOU!! Feel free to study up on the 13 colonies. They were included in your info packet from the first class.
