Family Friday: Signs from Colonial America

It was great to see so many of you in the classroom on Friday for Family Friday! This month, we created art related to Colonial America. Each student chose an occupation from Colonial America that they were interested in and read up about the job. Then, working with families in the room and friends, students created their own signs just like those that would have lined a street in Colonial America. Our signs all include images because a significant part of the population was illiterate at the time.

Enjoy some pictures of our time painting!

Here are a few samples of our signs. We still have some finishing touches to put on the signs, so we'll update again when they are finished. Enjoy!
