Colonial Day is a day of hands on learning for our 4th graders. Students will experience what life was like as a child during Colonial times. The students learn about traditional crafts, food, games, and history. Each center is parent run, so we need your help to create this opportunity for our students. Mrs. Pagels and the 5th graders will host the students in the tea room this year. We hope you will join us for this event. If you are unable to join us, you can still donate items for our event. Michael's and JoAnn's are good places to find the craft supplies and you can usually find coupons to purchase the items as a discount.
Each of the 13 colony groups will be a blend of 4th grade students from each of the 4th grade classes. Students will receive their colony assignments a few days before the event. There will be two colonies in each group. However, Georgia will travel by itself through the centers. We will post additional information in the coming weeks.
Students and volunteers are encouraged to dress up for the event. Please do not feel the need to purchase
any clothing. We ask that all students wear closed-toed shoes please. Here are some things your child can
wear:
Girls
- shawl
or cardigan
-
long dress
-
button down blouse & long skirt
Boys
- black
or dark colored pants (or dark jeans)
- button down shirt
Please send in your donated craft and non-perishable food items beginning the week of December 1st. We need to have the supplies on hands so that we can prep the centers. Perishable items(pies, milk, etc.) should not be sent in until Monday, December 15th.
Colonial Day will take place on Wednesday, December 17th. We will need volunteers from 7:30-11:25 AM. We will also need volunteers to help with set up and clean up. Thanks for your help and support!
