In Cara Herold's class, 3H, each child made a Venn diagram as a way to compare their lives with that of a colonial child. Each listed similarities and differences. This awareness and knowledge was attained through first hand experiences at the  Pennsylvania Colonial Plantation at Ridley State Park and by visiting William Penn's home Pennsbury.  Several books were read independently by the children and others were read orally by the teacher. Our Colonial Day celebration further enriched their understanding. Please browse a sampling of student's work.
