Earlier this week fifth grade students celebrated Thanksgiving “colonial” style, preparing and feasting on Hasty pudding, hardtack, cornbread, chef Nate stone soup, Washington’s applie pie, pumpkin pie, gingersnaps, colonial macaroons, pound cake, potato balls, mulled cider and liberty tea!
Activities during the celebration included shooting marbles, silver plating, rug making, ink and quill writing, shaking cream to whip it, and playing with bilbo catchers.
Wishing everyone a peaceful holiday!
