Hopefully you received your paper copy of these 2 announcements in Today's Thursday Folder:
*Save the date Colonial Days December 16th*
We have begun our Colonial unit in Social Studies and all students have been assigned to a New England, Middle or Southern Colony group. Students will be working on their in class presentations (for the next couple of weeks in class) and will be starting their independent activities (to be done at home). Towards the end of the unit, we will be having “Colonial Days” with Ms. Nunes’s Class to showcase what we have learned. We will be dressing up in colonial costumes (as best we can) and serving colonial treats. This will take place on December 16th after lunch (watch out of a more detailed email soon). Students will also prepare an at home created colonial mini-project to share that day.
There are a lot of great craft ideas on the internet, and I linked a few to my blog as well. This mini project will be due on December 16th and there will be a written paragraph about the project that was made see rubric on the reverse).
Clothing ideas: kaki pants (or any pants) rolled to the knee (baseball pants also work great), knee high socks, white collared shirt, long skirts, scarves, apron, bonnets, plain shoes
Some project ideas to get you started…
*sew a small quilt (or the beginnings of one) * make a model of a colonial town
* homemade candles *weaving * make a horn book *silhouette art *handmade pillow
*corn husk doll *clothes pin doll *rag dolll *cross stitch/ embroidery
*handmade baskets *tin work (making something out of tin can eg. lantern)

We will also need your help in providing a Potluck for the visiting students!
As all of the other classrooms will be coming to visit (and that is a lot of students!), we need all of our 5th grade families to help provide food for the Potluck.
Potluck Items needed:
v Cornbread and Cornbread Muffins
v Jerky
v Cider & Cups
v Trail mix / Nuts
v Berries / Fresh Fruit
v Pumpkin desserts (pie, cake, cookies, etc.)
v Apple desserts (pie, cake, cookies, etc.)
v Plates & napkins
Please contact Anna (Ms. Sara’s Room Parent) to advise what you will be able to bring, so that we can organize the amount of food.
Items can be dropped off that morning, or by 1pm, to the classrooms. If you wish to help, that would be fantastic as well; we could use a few helpers.
