Colonial Fair

The Third Grade's Colonial Fair is a series of presentations by student groups on life in the Colonies with a focus on occupations. Be it silversmith, baker, brick maker or shipbuilder, parents, teachers and administrators can go from station to station and hear the students describe what it took to keep life going in America over 225 years ago.

The video is a bit noisy and jumpy, but it does give a sense of the energy and creativity of this undertaking. -- David Lowry

Colonial Dances

After the first part of the 3rd grade's Colonial Fair, the students performed two dances from the times: the Virginia Reel and the Circle Dance. Here are two quick samples:

The Shape of Things in 37 Seconds

The Kindergartners in C2 read the book "The Shape of Things" and then created their own collages using a variety of shapes they created. Take 37 seconds to see their work!

Cinderella and Sound Effects

During their unit focusing on instrument exploration, Mrs. Ebeling's first graders used the classroom instruments to add sound effects to the story of "Cinderella". They did such a wonderful job that they were invited to perform the story at this morning's Chilton House singalong. ~Ms. Spaeth

Pajama Day Pre-K

The Pre-K had a Pajama day, recently. Our letter of the week was "P" and, continuing with the theme, we made pancakes and came to school in our pajamas. We also had two students read us two stories after lunch time. (Post: Ms. Aslam)
