A trip back to colonial times at CES

Fourth-grade students in Ms. Bourke’s, Mrs. Callahan’s, and Mrs. Urmston’s classes at CES finished a social studies unit on the exploration and colonization of New York State, from the early explorers to the Dutch to the English.

Four boys sit at a table writing on  colonial paper. They are all wearing colonial hats.

They learned about what life was like over 300 years ago and celebrated by creating their own toys, like spinning tops and bilbo catchers, making foods like butter and ice cream by hand, and journal writing on paper that was stained with tea bags to make it look like it was from a colonial diary.

Three fourth grade girls wearing colonial dresses hold up papers.Two girls smile and hold plastic bags that contain homemade ice cream.A girl with long dark hair holds a piece of bread with homemade butter on it. She is wearing a blue and white colonial costume.

It was a great hands-on activity for the students while learning about our home state!
