Long, Long Ago Day


1st grade was all about Pilgrims today. The boys had these great hats and the girls looked so pretty in their bonnets. They went from classroom to classroom learning about different areas of pilgrim life.

In Mrs. Skinner's room, they sewed pockets out of paper sacks, polished pennies with lemon and salt and colored beautiful quilts. Then they were off to Mrs. William's class to write with charcoal and made feather necklaces with Mrs. Hall. Mrs. Hoadley had another sewing project with fabric before a snack recess.



Mrs. Griffis showed them how to make clay pots and Mrs. Huth helped them make butter for their corn muffins. With the help of a lot of parent volunteers, it was a very festive and fun learning day. The kids are all ready for Thanksgiving!
