4th Grade Colonial Days

The entire 4th grade at Schlegel Elementary School participated in Colonial Days in December 2012.  The children were encouraged to dress in colonial garb.  The girls made dust-bonnets and the boys made tunics.  Quinlan's dust bonnet was made out of the fabric the little girls wore in our wedding.  The kids made a punched tin designs, learned the art of paper rolling, made corn bread muffins and dipped candles.  The picture below is of Quinlan learning to dip candles.  Unfortunately, poor Quinlan had a bad case of poison ivy on her face.  Hard to believe that she could get poison ivy in December but she did.
