Shall We Dance?

After weeks of practice during our colonial unit we performed a minuet for our parents and guests. Dressed in our finery, we curtsied or bowed, as we began.......


We kept time and moved as one sweeping across the gym floor!

Our parents clapped to the beat and smiled from ear to ear.

We didn't miss a beat!






We danced our way back to the classroom to enjoy our fabulous feast.
We took great care to decorate our tables in true colonial fashion. Using fresh fruit, nuts, and pine cones, we designed a dellarobia. Symmetry was very important in colonial times, so our table decorations reflected that. The two groups each worked together to complete the finished product!
Lovely, isn't it?

We used manners appropriate to colonial times and enjoyed eating fabulous food provided by our parents.




Quite an array of food, isn't it? We definitely didn't go away hungry and we enjoyed every minute.

Great job, students and parents. Huzzah for Colonial Days 2011!
