What fun we have had this week with our thirteen activities related to colonial life. Monday included a formal tea, tin smithing, and calligraphy in the morning and by afternoon we were making hats and wigs, cooking, and playing games. Then on Tuesday we created pomanders, practiced our weaving, and learned to quilt during the first part of the day, while the afternoon included designing a whirligig toy, making candles and learning papyrotamia. We prepared for our feast Wednesday morning by decorating our tables symmetrically with fruit, nuts and ribbon. This art form is called dellarobia and the colonial homes often featured these types of centerpieces on mantels and tables. Dancing the minuet for our parents was another memorable experience and then we enjoyed a scrumptuous meal of turkey with all the trimmings. Our principal, Mrs. Leadford, joined us for our feast as did many of our parents, enrichment teachers, Mr. Caldwell, Mrs. Catania, Big Bob, and Mr. Les. I don't believe any of us will forget these last few days for a VERY LONG time!
