Step Back Into Colonial Times



Fourth graders were invited to step back in time with a visit from a Native
American woman (Mrs. Speake as Speake Loudly) and a Colonial woman
(Mrs. Darroch as Jane Smith).  Using a Reader's Theater, the narrators
(11students) asked the "visitors" questions about clothing, homes, baskets,
transportation, and other items used during colonial times.

grippers and small notebooks.  These items are priced between 10 cents and
$1.  Store hours are 7:20-7:35 each morning.  Please do not send large
