COLONIAL FAIR

 

 I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.  With the second trimester underway, we are starting many new academic activities.  The students have started to prepare for the Colonial Fair which will be on February 14th. Students have already chosen groups and a Colonial Job and they have started doing research for their Colonial Store Front.  They will be building Colonial Store Fronts to represent their Colonial Jobs.  Once the students decide what they are going to use to build their Colonial Stands, they will need to bring supplies in from home.  Students have created their Colonial Store Fronts from cardboard, wood, and much more. We do allow them to bring hammers, nails, and spray paint to school for this project. Home Depot sometimes has free wood and supplies in the back of the store.  A student just recently went to Home Depot and got free wood. Another parent said that some stores, like JoAnn Fabric, put old supplies out behind the store on Tuesdays.  Thank you for your help with getting supplies for this project. The students should NOT be building anything at home. It should be done with their group at school. This activity is definitely one of the students' favorites. On February 14th, they also have to dress up related to their Colonial job and pretend that they lived during the Colonial times. Bringing items to pass out at the Colonial Fair is optional. If they decide to do this, the items have to be related to their colonial job. This is a fun culmination to come and see!!
