In fourth grade at school, the kids have Colonial Day. They dress up and get to have a whole day doing unusual activites like writing with feathers, making candles and learning! One of the things they do is a dance called Virginia Reel. This day was a snow day so Ellen, Clara and I stopped by the school to watch the fourth graders dance. It was so precious.
To see Grace dancing you can click on this LINK and you will see a short 1 minute video.
Because they go to a school that is K-12, they had a Homecoming Game (basketball). The kindergarten teacher made goodie bags for all the kindergarten students that went to the game. It was so fun because they were in the snack bar area and Sam had to go and "order" his bag. It was full of treats just for them!

I remember making butter in a PB jar for one of our colonial projects, we also got to pick 'colonial names' I went with Elizabeth Blackwell. Perhaps it'll be my pen name someday! :)
ReplyDeletewhere did you get the costume? That goodie bag is a cute idea :)
