April 25 Having been poor is no shame, but being ashamed of it, is." ~ Benjamin Franklin


What was it like in colonial times? I'm always interested in what everyday life was like for people. As this video reveals, very few folks dressed in the fancy clothes we associate with colonial America. Here's the way most of us would have dressed for a typical day.


Looks like it would get awfully hot out in the fields in August...

This week: We'll share our information about colonial trades. (Be looking for an informational bulletin board that describes many of the trades and crafts of colonial America.) We'll complete a quick review of American colonies (quiz), then embark on an adventure to learn about the French and Indian War.

Take care-
