Colonial Day
In 4th grade we have colonial day. My favorite activity from colonial day was toys and games. There were three stations there were pick up sticks which is some one from one of the two teams drops a bunch of sticks, one person from one team had to pick up the sticks with out moving another stick. If the person move another stick than it was the other teams turn. And on and on until there were no sticks left. When all of the sticks are gone the team with the most sticks wins. And another station had small cups with a ball connected to the cup and you had to get the ball in the cup. It was not like a cup that you would drink out of. I got the ball in the cup twice. And the last station was rolling a wooden hoop with a wooden stick. And the hoop could not fall you had to keep balance with the hoop. What I learned was that colonist worked a lot and they had a lot of jobs. I wish I learned more about how boys were treated in dame school. Colonial times was different than today. Because the clothes were different, they made candles different, they had different toys, they cooked different, they had dame school, they wore different clothes, and they had horn books for dame school. Those were just some of the reasons why colonial times was different than today. Colonial day was very fun!
