On Friday, Dec. 12, Churchill Road fourth graders stepped back in time to the 19th century and participated in the school’s annual Colonial Day. This immersion into the lifestyles and customs of the colonial days marked the culmination of the fourth graders’ social studies unit on Colonial America.
Organized by CRS fourth grade teachers Pat Brownley, Nicholas Kilpatrick, Claire McHale, Steven Nicklas and Devon Rook, students, teachers and parents participated in a variety of period activities that included tin punching, calligraphy, candle-making, stenciling, dancing, corn husk doll making, quilting and more. The students particularly enjoyed dancing and making pumpkin pie and corn husk dolls.
