Colonial Day 2017

At Heathcote elementary school in 4th grade you have colonial day. It is when you get the full experience of colonial times. Dame school was my favorite activity because it was funny how they treated the girls with more respect  then the boys. I learned that instead of using pencils to write you would use a feather and ink. I want to learn more about the sheep wool. They served us pie, mashed potatoes, and corn bread. The dancing back then was very different then the dancing now. The activities we had were stenciling, candle making, dame school, toys and games, cooking and textiles, music, and dance. Colonial times is different from now because they didn’t have electronics like we do now. To play, they couldn’t go on electronics to play video games. and to contact each other you would need to talk in person. It was so much fun.
