Colonial Day

January 15, 2011

Wednesday, January 12th, was Colonial Day at Grace's school.  The kids dress in colonial period costumes (mostly).  They spend all day going to different stations like: candle making, stocks, hornbook making, cross stitching, indoor games like marbles and "some weird bean game" (Grace's words), outdoor games like tag, tug of war, and hoops.  You get the idea.  Parents volunteer to run these activities.  I worked the stocks.  Here is Grace playing with the hoop...she was pretty good at it.

 And the stocks....I need some of these at home for that attitude I get from the kids.  

 
Happy MLK Weekend!
