Colonial Period

This week students began their unit on the Colonial / Early American Period of our country's history.  We have two students from our local university (Mid-Continent) working with students several days per week. This week they are helping 3rd graders build log cabins, design American flags, and create Yankee Doodle "caps" (as shown in the photos below).

Students are responding to Colonial Period drama by performing Readers' Theater plays and then designing props that would go with each play.
