Colonial Day

Colonial Day is an all-day celebration of the colonial period in American history. Students participated in hands-on explorations of colonial technology and arts and crafts, including quill calligraphy, tinsmith design, corn husk doll making, weaving, and butter churning. Our Colonial Band performed colonial music, and all of our students danced the Virginia Reel.

An enrichment field trip, Benjamin Franklin’s Colonial Assembly, visited our school that day. Using a mobile printing museum, a printing expert demonstrated colonial era typesetting, printing, and book binding, and explain how Benjamin Franklin grew from apprentice printer to influential writer and publisher. Then an actor playing Benjamin Franklin took our students back in time to recreate some of his famous scientific experiments and highlight his other contributions to our colonies and young country.
