Time Warp!

Yesterday we traveled back in time to...the Colonial Period!  Each member of the class got a "new" name and created his/her own vintage look :).  Over the next two weeks, we will be learning all about what life was like for colonists and comparing their lives to our own.  I have a feeling the bathroom and school discipline lessons will be big topics of conversation... The areas of focus will include: clothing, homes, daily life, cooking, transportation, games, and education. 

More to come as we get Colonial with it! 

Until then, check us out!
