Minuet and Feast

Here is our fine Town Crier, Mr. Michael Brown, giving us plenty of news and entertainment for our Colonial Days. He kept us informed about all manner of news including a runaway cow, births of babies, and even slaves who had escaped from their masters. Each student enjoyed having a colonial name.
A feast of turkey, sweet potatoes, green beans, stuffing, homemade rolls, bread pudding, cobbler, pies, and cake were enjoyed by students, parents, administration, and enrichment teachers. The students had colonial conversation and manners. What a delight to watch!What wonderful dancers they were at the minuet The parents clapped and snapped cameras while the dancers twirled around the gym. Charming!
Though very tired, the class commented that they wished Colonial Days lasted longer. Their journals are full of their impressions from three full days unlike any other they have ever had. Huzzah (Hooray) for Colonial Days 2010!
