Hear ye! Hear ye! The fourth grade bids the school community a good morrow and invites all parents, teachers, staff and students to its 2013 Colonial Fair.
After a month of preparation, 19 fourth graders will bring their social study lessons to life on Wednesday, Dec. 11 when they transform the library into a thriving colonial village. Whether they be bakers, blacksmiths, cutlers, apothecaries, printers or gunsmiths, each student will open up his “shoppe” to the fair goers and present his trade.
“They all put so much time and effort into this,” said fourth grade teacher Dee Harris. “It’s great to celebrate their learning journey and all their hard work.”
And to get to yonder village, attendees will pass through the Eye of the Hawk Tavern, or the former Narthex. There, people will be able to partake in colonial-inspired grub such as gingerbread, flapjacks and some cold cider to wash it all down.
There will also be dancing and music and rumor has it that fourth grade teacher Asela Zamorano might even play the harpsichord.
“By adding food, music, happiness and joy, that’s something you know the students will hold on to,” said Zamorano. “That’s how you remember things.”
The Fair will be held in the Narthex and library on Wednesday, Dec. 11 from 1:15 to 2:30 p.m.
