Colonial Life: We made cornbread from scratch and talked about fun facts of daily life in Colonial times. (Facts found in Colonial Kids and Felicity's World).

In Stations, we made our Indian 'disguises', our own Tri-Corner hats, and clay pinch pots. Afterwards we reenacted the Boston Tea Party. Karina lead the 'Indians', Garren captained the ship full of tea cargo, and Lelia played the part of the British Admiral.
We concluded by eating yummy cornbread, homemade butter and reading When Mr. Jefferson Came to Philadelphia by Ann Turner.
